A Nigerian-born naturalised Danish citizen, Kelvin Uyi Martins, who is serving in the Danish Army, and Major Lucky Ogiemudia of the Nigerian Army, are currently at loggerheads over the Danish Army officer’s revocation of Power of Attorney to the Nigerian Army officer.
The disagreement became public through petitions written by lawyers to both parties over a multi-million naira duplex belonging to the Danish citizen, which he had earlier given authority to the Nigerian military officer to oversee same, which is located at No. 27, Roland Abanor Street, GRA, Benin City, Edo State.
Trouble started between the duo when the naturalised Danish citizen instructed his counsel, Barrister Douglas Ogbankwa, to revoke the Power of Attorney given to Major Ogiemudia.
The petition addressed to the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. General Farouk Yahaya and copied the Provost Marshal, Nigerian Army, and the Directorate of Legal Services, alleged that Major Ogiemudia had breached the terms of the agreement, urging the Nigerian military authorities to call him to order.
“That our client revoked the said Power of Attorney vide a notice of Revocation of Power of Attorney dated 6th December, 2022 duly endorsed by a Notary Public in his hand and seal, which totally extinguished and obliterated the same.
