Residents and house owners in Irewolede (Fajuyi) Estate in Ado-Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital, have asked the State High Court in Ado-Ekiti to jail the General Manager of Ekiti Housing Corporation, Babasoji Awe, for alleged contempt of court.
The house owners/claimants went to court, challenging the revocation of their houses purchased on a mortgage agreement but which Governor Ayodele Fayose wanted paid within a month.
The plaintiffs claimed in the contempt charge that Awe, a lawyer, was duly served.
Their counsel, Rafiu Balogun, said his clients have begun the suit vide a Writ of Summons and accompanied with other processes and documents and the defendants were duly served.

“The second defendant (Awe) has served the house owners with the letters of revocation, and shamefully and with impunity, they were given seven days to vacate their respective houses,” Balogun said.
Pleading with the court to act in defence of justice, Balogun noted: “We all know what is going to happen after the expiration of the seven days ultimatum; the government will forcefully eject them against the spirit and the intendment of the pending matter.
