In a significant turn of events, Tony Kabaka’s household erupted in jubilation as the appeal court mandated the government to reinstate his hotel, which was demolished by former governor Godwin Obaseki in 2020.
The court’s ruling also stipulates that the government must compensate Kabaka by paying his outstanding salaries from February to the present date.
This victory follows a previous ruling in the high court where Kabaka successfully won an order for the reinstatement of his full entitlements.
The recent decision from the appeal court underscores the judicial system’s commitment to uphold property rights and hold the government accountable for its actions.
The demolition of Kabaka’s hotel had sparked widespread controversy and discussions about the former government’s approach to property and business ownership.
Now, with the appeal court’s affirmation, Kabaka stands rejuvenated, ready to reclaim what was unjustly taken from him by former governor Godwin Obaseki.
Supporters and well-wishers gathered at his residence, celebrating this momentous victory and expressing hope for a brighter future ahead.
