In the lawsuit, the DP claims that Ohas obtained a title deed to the subject property illegally in December 2019 and registered it in his firm's name by doing so through his company Wamunyoro Investments.
The court was informed that Ohas' business, Columbus Two Thousand Limited, planned to replace him as a key witness because he was ill.
The attorney for the abovementioned corporation told the court, "We may propose substituting Michael John Ohas, the key witness, as he has been ailing for a long time and is currently in the hospital.
Judge Mboya postponed the hearing to March 16 and ordered the application to be submitted appropriately.
