It was gathered that Obe was the governorship candidate for the African Action Congress (AAC) in the 2023 general elections.
Sources in the know disclosed that the residence, situated in Sagwari Layout, Dutse, Bwari Area Council, Federal Capital Territory, FCT, was constructed by Obe himself.
Reports showed that Obe and his wife, Christiana Obe, have been married since 2006. The couple hails from the Ogbadibo Local Government Area, Benue State.
While en route to Benue State, Obe received a call regarding an invasion of his home in Abuja by security operatives, who were evicting him from his property.
In response, Obe quickly diverted his route back to Abuja.
Upon his return, he was presented with a legal document indicating that his property had been seized due to an unpaid loan taken by his wife.

However, Obe told reporters that he had not received any legal notice before the incident.
Witnesses, including military operatives and police officers, were present at the scene, where Obe’s property was found scattered across the street of Sagwari Layout.

Referring to his wife, Obe expressed his frustration, stating, “She has done her worst. This is a house I built with my hard-earned money.”
In a Facebook live session, Obe accused his wife of forcefully entering his home with the help of some officials, questioning the legality of seizing a property without prior notice.
When asked if he was informed about the loan taken by his wife, Obe replied that he was unaware of any loan and had not been contacted by the lender before the alleged loan.
He also mentioned that his wife had taken their son to a new apartment before the incident.
Furthermore, Obe denied receiving any legal documents before the eviction.
“I was never served. This was plotted by my wife and the officers that came. We have been having issues for a while and I think this is her best way of getting at me,” he said.
It was gathered that Christiana, an officer of the Nigerian Air Force, had prior to the eviction, moved some of her properties out of the house, including air-conditioners.
She reportedly went away unquestioned, as Obe claimed he did not want to create a scene.
The court papers served during the eviction obtained by journalists claimed that the claimant had lived in the said duplex as a tenant.
A family member who spoke anonymously said, “Ewaoche (Obe) has invested a lot in this woman, even the job she currently has came from him. He saw this woman through school and has invested in her life in so many other ways. How do you connive with external persons to bring down a man you have lived with for more than two decades? How?
Responding to a call by the media platform, Christiana simply said, “I am not under any obligation to speak to anyone.”
