He reminded the court that the defendants had been playing all manner of tricks to evade justice, which he said made the court to serve them through subsistuted means; yet, they refused appear in court. He told the court that every relevant papers have been filled, and that charges have also been amended to enable the prosecution commence their case.

He cited Section 273 (1) of Delta State Criminal Justice System, and urged the court to issue a bench warrant for the arrest of the defendants.

Speaking after the court proceeding, a community leader in the area, who gave his name as Mike Udebunu, said that the Fountain City Landlords first bought the land with payment receipt issued to it, but that the problem started sometime in 2022, when a certain company, Henric Empire Garden Ltd., owned by one of the accused persons, Chief Lucky Favour Abuah, invaded the land with bulldozer and destroyed every property on the land, and later sold the piece of land to one PWAN PLUS Business Concerns, an estate developer owned by one Julius Ayademi.
