Peace efforts initiated by the Nasarawa State Government to resolve the widely publicized home dispute between Blessing Mathias, Dorathy Mathias, Favour Mathias, and Mr. Michael Galadima have reached an advanced stage.
The mediation process, led by the Nasarawa State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Barr. Isaac Danladi, has continued as both parties return to the negotiation table to finalize key issues aimed at achieving a permanent settlement.
According to the Attorney General, the parties were requested to “go back to the drawing board” to conclude outstanding details that would pave the way for a lasting resolution. Counsel representing the judgment creditor and the girls affected have agreed to reconvene at the Justice House for the final phase of the mediation.
Both sides acknowledged that, since the initial reconciliation meeting, they hadn't met or sat collectively to chart the path forward—making this renewed engagement crucial.
It will be recalled that the state government intervened after a Facebook video shared by Blessing Mathias alleged that her family was forcefully evicted from their home. On his part, Mr. Michael Galadima maintained that he legally purchased the property from the family’s uncle for N5 million.
The peace process, chaired by Barr. Isaac Danladi, was initiated to prevent further tension and ensure justice, fairness, and stability.
The next and possibly final meeting has been scheduled for November 3, 2025.
Barr. Danladi also pledged to lead both parties to Taraba State to celebrate the successful reconciliation once a final agreement is reached.
