Court kicks out Eno’s aide from property over 11 years rent payment failure

Governor Umo Eno's special adviser, Kufre Udosen, was recently evicted from his rented one-room store in Ikot Abasi, Akwa Ibom State, after refusing to pay rent for the past 11 years. The eviction order came after a Magistrate Court in Ikot Abasi District ruled that Udosen had failed to renew his rent or vacate the property since January 2015, despite multiple appeals from the shop owner, Ime Archibong Akpan.

A Chief Magistrate, Nsikak Ibanga, delivered the judgment on August 17, 2026, ordering Udosen to vacate the store and pay the accumulated rent arrears of N540,000, as well as monthly profit payments of N5,000 from October 2025 until he was allowed to take possession. If Udosen breaches the court's orders, the court has stated that the doors of the premises will be forcibly opened by a bailiff to allow the plaintiff access.
