FG accuses David Mark of unlawfully acquiring Senate President’s official residence

The Federal Government has indicted a former Senate President, David Mark, of illicitly acquiring his then official residence as his private property.

In September 2017, the Federal Government, through the Special Presidential Investigation Panel for the Recovery of Public Property, headed by Chief Okoi Obono-Obla, gave the former Senate President a 21-day notice to evacuate the mansion.

The notice to quit, however, asked Mark to “show cause” why the Federal Government should not “enforce the recovery of the property for public good.”

However, Mark had hurriedly filed a suit before the Federal High Court in Abuja to nullify all steps taken by the panel to evict him and recover the house from him.

The case is yet to be heard.
