The absence of Fabian Nwaora, the Chief Executive Officer of EFAB Properties Limited has stalled his arrangement.
Nwaora, was scheduled to appear before an Abuja High Court last week Monday over allegations of forgery and identity fraud.
The popular Abuja realtor was slammed with a seven count criminal charge by the Inspector General of Police, accusing him of falsifying official documents, forging corporate records, and manipulating identity credentials.

During Monday’s sitting, defence counsel Ezekiel Egbo told the court that his client was unable to attend because he was served with the charge around 3:00 p.m. last week Friday, leaving what the defence described as insufficient time to prepare.
The prosecution, represented by Eba Favour, holding brief for lead counsel Wisdom Madaki, requested a new date for arraignment.
Justice Aliyu Shafa granted the request and adjourned the case to March 16, stating that the court must act in the interest of justice.
According to the police charge marked FHC/HC/CR/748/2025, investigators allege that Nwaora forged an international passport numbered A01646675 bearing the name Kenneth Chinedu Ogbogu.
The passport was purportedly issued by the Nigeria Immigration Service on April 5, 2024, but investigators claim the document was fabricated and subsequently used by Nwaora as if it were genuine.
Authorities further allege that the EFAB CEO knowingly presented the forged passport in official dealings, thereby committing a criminal offence under Nigerian law.
The police charge also accuses Nwaora of forging and altering corporate documents tied to a company identified as Keneco Investment Ltd, with registration number 619680.
According to the prosecution: A certificate of incorporation allegedly bearing the signature of Registrar General A. Almustapha was falsified.
A company letterhead was fabricated and presented as authentic.
A National Identity Number (NIN) purportedly issued by the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) was forged.
The alleged actions constitute violations of Sections 362, 364, and 366 of the Penal Code, which criminalize forgery, fraudulent misrepresentation, and the use of forged documents.
