The House of Representatives committee on Public Petitions has summoned Mr. Ifeanyi Emenike of FGlobal Properties Limited for allegedly indulging in land grabbing and sponsorship of violence.
Emenike is to appear before the committee on January 30 to answer charges on the alleged committal of the infractions.
Acting on a petition filed by Collins Adele, on behalf of 23 allottees of a Federal government land scheme in Rumueme, Port Harcourt, the committee summoned Emenike to state his own side of the story.
The petitioners allege that they were prevented from developing their duly allocated lands by thugs purportedly sent by Emenike. The thugs, armed with guns, matchets and other dangerous weapons numbering over twenty, threatened to kill anyone who tried to work on the land.
Issuing the summons, the Chairman of the Committee, Mike Etaba warned that the respondent should note that the case might be determined in his absence should he fail to appear before the committee on the invited date.
