Justice Oyindamola Ogala of Lagos State High Court sitting in Ikeja will today, March 10, hear a land dispute between Adamakin Investment and Works Limited and Lagos State government over the ownership and administrative control of a large expanse of land linked to the Efunroye Tinubu Estate.
In a suit marked ID/8890GCM/2024, Adamakin Investment and Works Limited and its promoter, Akinfolabi Akindele, listed the Attorney General, the Commissioner for Physical Planning, the Permanent Secretary, Bureau of Lands, the Lagos State Property Development Corporation (LSPDC), and enforcement agencies as defendants.
The claimants are contesting the government’s restricting order placed on the disputed land, which is officially registered as No. 45 on Page 45 in Vol. 2212 of the Lagos State Land Registry.
They argued that the state’s “No Transaction, No Certified True Copy” directive placed on the title is an unlawful reversal of the estate’s recognised ownership, without due process. (Guardian)
