December 19, 2017:\u00a0 \u00a0EFCC grills\u00a0<\/strong>David Mark\u00a0<\/span>for 7 hours, seizes passport<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Federal Government has accused a former Senate President, David Mark, of illegally acquiring his then official residence as his private property.<\/p>\n

In September this year, the government, through the Special Presidential Investigation Panel for the Recovery of Public Property, which is chaired by Chief Okoi Obono-Obla, gave the former Senate President a 21-day notice to quit the mansion.<\/p>\n

\n
\u00a0The notice to quit, however, asked Mark to \u201cshow cause\u201d why the Federal Government should not \u201cenforce the recovery of the property for public good.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

But Mark had quickly filed a suit before the Federal High Court in Abuja to quash all steps taken by the panel to evict him and recover the house from him. \u00a0The case has not been heard.<\/p>\n

The PUNCH,<\/em> on Monday, obtained from court sources, copies of documents, including exhibits, filed by the former Senate President in his suit challenging the recovery process.<\/p>\n

The Senate President\u2019s official residence is sited on 1.6 hectares of land at 1 Musa Usman Street, (also known as No. 1 Chuba Okadigbo Street), Apo Legislative Quarters, Gudu, Abuja.<\/p>\n

According to title documents, the property comprises eight structures, made up of the main house, ADC\/chief security detail\u2019s house, guest chalet, security\/generator house, boys quarters, security post, driver\/servants\u2019 quarters and chapel.<\/p>\n

The eight structures are said to be properly spaced and linked with well-paved drive and walkways and further done with lawns.<\/p>\n

Mark, the senator, currently representing Benue South in the National Assembly, is accused of illegally acquiring the property with the approval of former President Goodluck Jonathan despite that such property was excluded from the monetisation policy of the Federal Government.<\/p>\n

\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0Copies of correspondences and other documents, leading to the purchase and eventual handover of the property to Mark in April, 2011, showed that the serving senator purchased the property at a \u201creserved price\u201d of N673,200,000.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Meanwhile, in his letter, dated October 28, 2010, seeking the then President Jonathan\u2019s approval for the sale of the property, the then Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Mr. Bala Mohammed, had indicated that the open market value of the property was N748,000,000.<\/p>\n

In addition, the then minister specifically stated that the Federal Executive Council had, in 2004, mandated the Federal Capital Territory Administration to sell all Federal Government\u2019s \u201cnon-essential housing units in Abuja under specific rules and guidelines.\u201d<\/p>\n

Exempted from this arrangement are the official residences of the Senate President, the Deputy Senate President, the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the Deputy Speaker.<\/p>\n

He stated that the exemption was \u201cexpressly contained in the Federal Government of Nigeria\u2019s Official Gazette No. 82, Vol. 92 of August 15, 2005.\u201d<\/p>\n

In justifying the request for the then President\u2019s approval for the sale, the former minister noted that all the houses in Apo Legislative Quarters, with the exception of the official residences of the four principal officers of the National Assembly, had been sold to the legislators occupying them at the time or the general public, under the Federal Government\u2019s monetisation arrangement.<\/p>\n

The former minister however stated that sale of other houses in the Apo Legislative Quarters had \u201caltered the general security provision for the area and extension, the security of the leading principal officers of the National Assembly.\u201d<\/p>\n

The letter added, \u201cThis lapse in the general security provision of the area led the National Assembly to unofficially rent residential accommodation for its leading principal officers in more secure areas within the city.\u201d<\/p>\n

It also stated that due to the security concerns, the four houses of the leading principal officers \u201cwill no longer have the status of \u2018essential properties\u2019,\u201d hence the FCTA \u201chas made provision in the budget to construct residential accommodation for the leading principal officers of the National Assembly where the general security is befitting the status of the officers.\u201d<\/p>\n

The then minister had stated that the Senate President\u2019s residence had an open market value of N748,000,000; the Speaker\u2019s N670,000,000; the Deputy Senate President\u2019s N458,000,000; and the Deputy Speaker\u2019s N348,500,000.<\/p>\n

What appeared on the then minister\u2019s letter as Jonathan\u2019s hand-written approval of the request dated November 15, 2010, read, \u201cPara 6 and 8 approved. Also see if this could be gazetted.<\/p>\n

\u201cN\/B: Ensure that the new residences are ready early next year.\u201d<\/p>\n

By a letter, with reference number PRES\/83\/FCTA\/18 and dated November 18, 2010, Jonathan conveyed his approval to the then minister\u2019s request for the sale of the Senate President\u2019s official residence.<\/p>\n

The letter, addressed to the FCT minister and titled, \u2018Re: Sale of Residential Houses Occupied by Leading Principal Officers of the National Assembly\u2019, was signed by the then President\u2019s Senior Special Assistant (Admin), Matt Aikhionbare.<\/p>\n

The letter read in part, \u201cI am directed to forward Reference A to you and to convey to you, Mr. President\u2019s approval of paragraphs 6 and 8 and further directive on page 2 in line with the earlier approval of 27\/06\/2010.\u201d<\/p>\n

But by a letter with reference number SPIP\/INV\/2017\/VOL.1\/17 and dated September 5, 2017, the Obono-Obla-led Special Presidential Investigation Panel for the Recovery of Public Property insisted that Mark acquired the \u201cnational monument\u201d in clear breach of the monetisation policy of the Federal Government.<\/p>\n

The letter, signed by Obono-Obla and titled \u2018Investigation activities: Notice to recover public property in your care\u2019, and addressed to Mark, stated in part, \u201cThe extant Monetisation Policy of the Federal Government, as enunciated and still being implemented, excludes all Principal Officers of the National Assembly and hence places the responsibility on the Federal Government to provide accommodation for them, same which you allegedly illegally appropriated.\u201d<\/p>\n

The letter asked Mark \u201cto take steps within the next 21 days to vacate the said property or show cause why the government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria should not enforce the recovery of the said property for public good.\u201d<\/p>\n

It added, \u201cYou are further being notified pursuant to the Recovery Property (Special Provisions) Act, 1983, to complete and return within 30 days the attached Form B (Declaration of Assets Form) to the office of the undersigned.\u201d<\/p>\n

But Mark, through his lawyer, Ken Ikonne, filed the suit marked FHC\/ABJ\/CS\/1037\/2017 before the Federal High Court in Abuja, insisting that he legally acquired the property through a \u201cwalk-in bid\u201d at the behest of the FCTA.<\/p>\n

He also contended that the recovery process initiated by the Federal Government was unconstitutional.<\/p>\n

The Attorney General of the Federation and Obono-Obla are joined as respondents to the suit.<\/p>\n

Among his prayers, Mark sought \u201ca declaration that the unilateral declaration by the defendants that the plaintiff\u2019s acquisition\u201d of the property \u201cis illegal and the order compelling the plaintiff to vacate the aforesaid property\u201d without affording him \u201ca hearing,\u201d amounted to a denial of his \u201cfundamental rights to fair hearing and property, and are therefore unconstitutional and void.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also sought a declaration that \u201cthe service by the defendants on the plaintiff of the Notice to Declare His Assets (Form A) and the Assets Declaration Form B is unconstitutional and thus void.\u201d<\/p>\n

He sought \u201can order quashing\u201d the defendants\u2019 declaration of his acquisition of the aforesaid property as illegal, and another order \u201cquashing the order of the defendants\u201d compelling him to vacate the aforesaid property.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also applied for an order of the court \u201cquashing the Notice to Declare Assets Form A and the Assets Declaration Form B\u201d served on him and \u201ca perpetual injunction restraining the defendants, jointly and severally\u201d or through any agent \u201cfrom evicting the plaintiff from the said property, or recovering same from him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mark said he was occupying the said property in 2010 when the FCTA, \u201cciting security concerns\u201d, decided to construct new official residences for the leadership of the National Assembly, including the President of the Senate, in a more secure and conducive environment.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the former Senate President, the FCTA had insisted that the reserve price of N673,200,000.00 reflected the open market value of the property.<\/p>\n

He added that the valuers of the FCT that inspected and carried out a valuation of the property had put the \u201creplacement cost\u201d of the property at N492,700,000.<\/p>\n

He said he duly accepted the offer on April 21, 2011 and paid the \u201cagreed purchase price to the Ad hoc Committee on Sale of FGN Houses\u201d on April 27, 2011.<\/p>\n

He said the house now served as his family home in Abuja.<\/p>\n

But he said surprisingly he was on October 9, 2017 served a letter of investigation activities dated September 5, 2017, by the Okono-Obla-led panel.<\/p>\n

He stated in his suit that, \u201cthe defendants (AGF and Obono-Obla)\u00a0 unilaterally, and without affording me any hearing at all, and without any order of any court, declared my acquisition of the said property illegal, and ordered me to vacate the said property failing which the defendants would enforce the recovery of the property against me.\u201d<\/p>\n

EFCC grills Benue senator for seven hours, seizes passport<\/strong><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, on Monday, interrogated the immediate past Senate President, David Mark, for seven hours, The PUNCH<\/em> has learnt.<\/p>\n

Impeccable sources within the EFCC told one of our correspondents that Mark\u2019s passport was also seized before he was allowed to go on an administrative bail.<\/p>\n

The PUNCH <\/em>learnt that Mark, who served as Senate President from 2007 to 2015, arrived at the Abuja office of the EFCC around 12noon and was released at 7pm.<\/p>\n

The source added, \u201cThe former Senate President arrived around 12pm and spent seven hours responding to several questions from detectives.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was released at 7pm on the condition that he must submit his passport to the commission which he did.<\/p>\n

\u201cSenator Mark is expected to return soon to answer more questions\u201d<\/p>\n

The former Senate President is expected to account for over N5.4bn slush cash and campaign funds allegedly traced to him.<\/p>\n

He was alleged to have received over N500m from the government of former President Goodluck Jonathan during the build-up to the 2015 presidential election.<\/p>\n

The money is alleged to have been part of the $2.1bn meant for arms procurement.<\/p>\n

The Senator, who has been representing Benue-South Senatorial District since 1999, is also accused of sharing N2.9bn to his colleagues while presiding over the upper legislative chamber.<\/p>\n

The former Senate President has, however, denied all the allegations levelled against him.<\/p>\n

In a statement on Sunday, Mark said, \u201cTo set the records straight, Senator Mark was invited by the EFCC via a letter addressed to the National Assembly to answer questions on the 2015 presidential election campaign funds as it concerned Benue State.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a law-abiding citizen, Senator Mark honoured the invitation.<\/p>\n

\u201cCuriously, they also alleged that the PDP paid over N2bn into the National Assembly\u2019s account which he, as then President of the Senate, allegedly shared among the 109 senators, including PDP, Action Congress of Nigeria and All Nigerian Peoples Party (members) in 2010.<\/p>\n

\u201cAgain, to the best of his knowledge, Senator Mark is not aware of such transactions. This simply did not make sense to any right thinking member of society.<\/p>\n

\u201cSenator Mark wondered why anybody would think that PDP will pay money into National Assembly account. He, however, clarified all the issues raised before returning home.\u201d<\/p>\n
