Since Colleen’s adverse claim emerged in 2023, the dispute has escalated into EFCC investigations, prosecution, forfeiture proceedings and occupation of Rebecca’s residence. Now, despite a Federal High Court order directing the parties to maintain status quo ante bellum, Rebecca says she remains without water, electricity or cooking gas.
Abuja, Nigeria | Tuesday, 14 July 2026
No court has finally determined who owns Plot 4022, Guzape, Abuja.
No final judgment has declared Colleen Mero Yesufu the lawful owner.
No final judgment has extinguished the interest asserted by Mrs Rebecca Omokamo Godwin-Isaac.
Yet the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, is asking the Federal High Court to forfeit the disputed property to the “for the benefit” of private complainants, including Colleen Mero Yesufu.
While ownership remains unresolved, Rebecca says she has been left inside the residence without water, electricity or cooking gas.
She cannot cook normally.
She cannot preserve food.
She cannot bathe properly.
Food in her refrigerator and freezer has spoiled.
Her home has become increasingly unhygienic and difficult to inhabit.
This is happening despite a Federal High Court order directing all parties to maintain status quo ante bellum, meaning the position that existed before the confrontation.
EFCC’s Own Filing Reveals the Intended Private Benefit
This is not speculation.
It is contained in EFCC’s Motion on Notice for Final Forfeiture in Suit No. FHC/ABJ/CS/151/2026.
On page one, EFCC asks the Federal High Court for:
“A final order of this Honourable Court forfeiting for the benefit of the nominal complainants…”
The Commission names Mrs Colleen Mero Yesufu, May Estate Agency Enterprises, Fofam Nigeria Ltd and Adamu
