Sequel to the misleading information circulating online against The Assistant Inspector General of police In-charge of Zone “2” AIG Jimoh Moshood regarding a land dispute situated at lekki area of Lagos State.
To set the record straight, haven’t done due consultation and investigation from the skyview Properties LTD owned by joint venture arrangement with a developer.
Skyview Properties Ltd. has petitioned the police to investigate and prosecute Alhaji Akeem Oguneye Osuolale and his alleged agents over an alleged attack on its workmen and destruction of property in Lekki, Lagos.
In the petition signed by the company’s solicitor, Ifeoluwa Adebambo, Esq., the company alleged that Osuolale and some suspected thugs invaded its property at Plot 37, Block 77, Lekki Peninsula Scheme I, on Oct. 17, 2026.
According to the petition, the alleged attackers were armed with daggers, machetes, dane guns and other dangerous weapons, which they used to assault the workmen and disrupt ongoing construction.
Adebambo further alleged that some of the workmen sustained serious injuries and fled the premises for fear of being killed, adding that the attackers subsequently locked up the property.
Adding that, the attackers boasted that they controlled every police station and could prevent the police from investigating their activities.
The solicitor said the company sought police intervention to protect the property and enable it to proceed with development under a joint venture arrangement with a developer.
Adebambo traced the company’s interest in the property to 1992/1993, when it acquired the land through a transaction involving one Mr Yomi Edu.
He explained that the company received the Certificate of Occupancy and took possession of the property over 33 years which it fenced and secured.
According to him, the company subsequently approached the original transferor, Mr Ajibode, to execute a fresh deed of assignment after Edu was unable to provide the document.
Adebambo said Ajibode executed the deed in 2009 with sum of N500,000, including payment evidence through a cheque and an acknowledgement of receipt.
He added that the company perfected its title at the Lagos state ministry of land registry in 2011, but a dispute later arose over the ownership of the property.
The solicitor alleged that, after the title was perfected, the opposing party demanded N50 million, despite the execution of the deed of assignment.
He said the dispute escalated into allegations that Ajibode’s signature on the deed had been forged, prompting Lagos police command investigations and forensic examinations.
In an exclusive engagement with Adebambo, forensic examinations conducted by the Lagos and Kaduna police commands confirmed that Ajibode had signed the disputed document.
He said the company subsequently instituted a suit at the Lagos State High Court in 2015 to protect its interest in the property.
The suit, numbered LD/1006CMW/2015, was decided on June 30, 2025, by Justice K. A. Jose in favour of the company.
According to the solicitor, the court affirmed the company’s interest in the property by declaring that the first defendant was no longer entitled to be regarded as the holder of the Certificate of Occupancy, following the transfer of his interest.
He said the court also issued a perpetual injunction restraining the first defendant, his agents and privies from trespassing on the property or harassing the company’s employees and representatives over the land.
The court further awarded N10 million in general damages against the first defendant for harassment, inconvenience, embarrassment and falsehood allegedly perpetrated against the company, according to the petition.
Adebambo said the opposing party had pursued an appeal but maintained that there was no subsisting order staying the execution of the judgment.
He argued that the judgment remained binding unless set aside by a competent court.
The solicitor added that the Lagos State Government, through the Attorney-General’s office, was also involved in the proceedings and presented evidence during the trial.
Adebambo said Osuolale was bound by the court’s judgment unless it was set aside by a competent court.
He challenged Osuolale to provide evidence of payment for the property and produce the title documents supporting his claim of ownership.
The solicitor maintained that the judgment remained valid and enforceable, adding that any claim to the property should be supported by relevant documents.
He urged the police to investigate the alleged invasion, provide adequate protection for the property and prosecute anyone found culpable.
The petition listed the alleged offences as criminal conspiracy, criminal trespass, threat to life, destruction of property, grievous bodily harm and illegal possession of firearms and other dangerous weapons.
