Contrary to a recent report that Femi Hebron owns Cabenda Hotel at Signal Hill, this medium can authoritatively confirm that it was a sad mistake for him to team up with some officials at Lands Ministry to retake land sold by his mother to a company.
His ploy to retake ownership of this property started during the National Provisional Ruling Council (NPRC) days, when his parents: Victoria Bayle Hebron and Sonia Boyle Hebron, sold the land to a Company-Lioness Motor Company Limited, owned by a Salamawish, a Jewish national.
According to our investigations, Alhaji Denkey, a prominent businessman, was contacted to facilitate the deal. Unfortunately, after purchasing a house that had only two toilets, the Jewish man realized that the sanitation problem was not ideal for a company, so he decided to demolish the structure to construct a decent one.
Two months after that demolition, the NPRC Coup took place and several people, including the Jewish Businessman, fled the country.
With the setting of various commissions, many were of the notion that the property was owned by the Late President Joseph Saidu Momoh, so it was confiscated and placed under the authority of the National Assets Commission.
At this point, Femi Hebron thought this was the time to reclaim the land sold by his mother since he did not know who signed the contract.
At first, Femi went to the Ministry of Lands for a five-year lease agreement and later requested for a freehold, without contacting the Assets Commission.
What he did was to put up a bar and a swimming pool at the edge of the compound, leaving the middle space.
For over thirty-two years nobody confronted him for his activities on the land that was under the Assets Commission.
Reports are that efforts were made to contact Late Alim Sesay aka AWOKO, who refused to dance to Femi’s tune.
Recently after an investigation conducted by the authorities, it has been proven that the Land in question is not the property of Joseph Saidu Momoh but Lioness Motors.
In light of the above information, the said property has to be returned to the company and not Femi Hebron.
