One of the children of the late President of the Customary Court of Appeal of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Justice Moses Bello, Ann Bello has urged the Inspector General of Police (IGP) to urgently effect the arrest of her stepmother, Mrs. Mary O. Bello, and others over their alleged illegal sale and conversion of the deceased?s assets, including JAB Luxury Homes.

Ann?s request is contained in a petition, written by her lawyer, Victor Giwa, dated March 18 and addressed to the IGP.

She accused Joseph Asuku Bello, Gabriel Ozovehe Bello, Rev. Father Ezekiel John Akomolafe and Abdullahi Abubakar of conspiring to sell and convert properties left behind by the late Justice, contrary to the stipulations of his will, dated December 12, 2007.

The petitioner claimed that the will clearly required all beneficiaries to undergo DNA test before they could claim any inheritance.

Ann alleged that some individuals, led by her stepmother and half-brothers disregarded this requirement and proceeded to sell the properties without following due process.

Part of the petition read: ?Our client is one of beneficiaries and heirs of the late Hon Justice Moses Abu Bello under the will dated 12th Dec. 2007.

?Under the said will each of the beneficiaries are supposed to undergo DNA test before he or she is entitled to an inheritance under the will.

?However, Joseph Asuku Bello and Gabriel Bello and others who are from the step mother of our client, have conspired with Rev Father Ezekial John Awolumate to criminally convert, sold properties without following the will of Hon Justice Moses Abu Bello.

?Joseph Asuku Bello together with Mrs Mary O. Bello has converted properties refers to as JAB Luxury Homes to themselves, depriving our client and others the benefit of the will of the late Hon Justice Moses Abu bello.

?Our client has suffered seriously and have been deprived of part of her inheritance from her late Father, according to the WILL.

?We are therefore seeking the following: ?Arrest and prosecute Joseph Asuku Bello, Mrs Mary O., Gabriel Ozovehe Bello and Rev Father Ezekial Akomolafe for criminal breach of trust, cheating and criminal conversion of monies and properties under the will of late Hon Justice Moses Abu Bello.?
