A near-crisis situation was averted in Lagos on Wednesday when owners of Toddler Investment forcefully took possession of the building that housed Planet One, a popular hospitality centre located at Mobolaji Bank Anthony Way, Maryland, Ikeja based on a court order from a legal tussle that spanned about three years.
Efforts to regain the property began as early as 11:00 a.m. but with slight resistance from the occupants and workers. Attempts by owners of Toddler Investment to gain entrance into Planet One were initially resisted by security agents but for the reinforcement of armed police officers and some hefty looking young men, who accompanied the court enforcers before the gate to the property was eventfully forced opened.
The management team of Toddler Investments, who were accompanied by court officials, lawyer and security agents took possession of the land at 2:30 p.m. by painting “MIK/935/19 Possession taken today 16/10/19 by Court Order” on some parts of the wall and building. Read more
