While NASSI claims it is the title holder of the property, the� government through its agents, the Calabar Urban Development Authority (CUDA), says it does not belong to the former, and is threatening to demolish the property if NASSI does not vacate the premises by September 15, 2004. The ownership war is raging despite a judgment delivered on April 14, 2003 by a magistrate court in Calabar. The Chief Magistrate, I.B Etape, had struck out the suit challenging the ownership of the property by NASSI. Already, the association�s secretary, Edem Ekpenyong Asuquo, has alerted the state governor, Mr. Donald Duke, of the threat to their property by CUDA, alleging that some persons were using his name to perpetrate fraud. In a save our soul (SOS) letter addressed to Duke, NASSI among other issues complained that the lives of small scale industrialists in the state was being endangered by some persons posing as agents of the state government. The association averred that some persons had been using the name of the governor as having granted them the certificate of occupancy of the building, which it claimed was allocated to it by government.   Copyright� 2004.
