Fatima Gold Estate Dispute: Dr. Abdul Mahmud Calls for Peace and Retraction of Publications

PRESS STATEMENT

I wish to address the recent developments concerning the Resident Association of Fatima Gold Estate and the disputes that have arisen between the Association, DCP Amabua Muhammed and some other residents over the enforcement of the estate’s rules and regulations, culminating in the prosecution of the former Chairman, Emmanuel Ejeh and me at the Senior Magistrate Court, Mararaba, Nasarawa State.

The measures taken by the Association, including the disconnection of electricity supply to certain properties identified as being in default, were carried out in the belief that they would encourage greater cooperation among residents. The objective was to promote the orderly development of the estate and to safeguard the collective welfare of all who live within it. At no time were these actions intended to cause harm or undue distress to any resident.

I acknowledge, however, that the process has led to significant inconvenience and discomfort for all parties involved. The concerns and grievances that have emerged, as well as the media reports connected to DCP Amabua Muhammed, are deeply regretted.

In view of the ongoing efforts by all parties to resolve these issues peacefully and amicably, it is important to create an atmosphere that supports dialogue, mutual understanding, and reconciliation.

Accordingly, all previous publications on this matter are hereby retracted, and I respectfully request the cessation of any further publication or dissemination of related content in your medium.

It is my sincere hope that, moving forward, all stakeholders will continue to engage constructively in the spirit of good neighbourliness and shared responsibility.

I kindly request that this statement be given the widest possible circulation.

Dr Abdul Mahmud, Esq.
Abuja.
