 OMONILE LAWYER FINAL THOUGHTS ON THIS LAND DISPUTE:

  Thousands of Nigerians that have bought land in Lagos are well conversant with this experience the claimant is complaining about in his suit filed against these faceless trespassers of land.The question is how do you secure a land you have just bought and travel in peace for one year or two with the hope of meeting your land the way you left it.   This is a very difficult problem Land owners face because these Omoniles are always patrolling the areas to see if a land is vacant or unattended to with no occupier even if you have built a fence and put a gate there to secure it.   The best advice i can give someone here who has bought a land and has fenced it and wont be in the country for a while is to get a security guard to stay inside and watch over the place while you put sand and gravel in the middle and you write across the fences ' NOT FOR SALE" and the names of the contact address to get in touch with in case any prospective buyer who isn't aware that the land has been sold intends to buy the land under a  fraudulent misrepresentation by the Omoniles.

    DATE THE SUIT WAS FILED:                           23rd of April 2013   COURT THE CASE WAS FILED:                       IKEJA HIGH COURT JUDICIAL DIVISION      

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE FACTS OF THE CASE FILED:

  The Statement of claim alleges that the Claimants bought Acres of Land from the Oyetoro family of Onigbongbo in 1974 and they obtained certificates of occupancy to secure the lands after the sale. They took possession of the lands by clearing the lands and sand filling it and had no problems there until 2007 when they discovered people had been tressapssing on the lands.   When the Defendants where challenged, they claimed to have bought the lands from the Oyetoro family and the first defendant claimed that he specifically bought his own land from the First claimant the said " Oba Nle Aro Trading Co Limited" who executed a deed of assignment for him  and he further used that deed of assignment to perfect his documents with the government.   The Claimants now claim that the deed of Assignment executed in favour of the 1st Defendant was a monumental fraud and that Oba Nle Aro Trading Co Limited did not excute a deed of assignment to him neither did the board of directors pass any resolution to sell to the 1st defendant the land in dispute.

OMONILE LAWYER FINAL THOUGHTS ON THIS LAND DISPUTE:

  This is just baffling to put it mildly. If Oba Nle Aro Trading Co Limited say they did not execute a Deed of Assignment to the First Defendant, how then did the First Defendant get a Deed of Assignment from Oba Nle Aro Trading Co Limited?   The basic rules of land transfer from a company to an individual states that there must be a company resolution to sell a property and it must be signed by a Director or Directors and the Company Secretary. How then did the first defendant get the executed deed of assignment from Oba Nle Aro Trading Co Limited when the Directors whose names have been bandied about are not connected to Oba Nle Aro Trading Co Limited?  

Fashola Revokes Governor’s Consent On Lekki Lands Obtained By Fraud

For years I have been warning land buyers how to shine their eyes when buying land from fraudulent Omoniles or Surveyors and why you should do a proper land investigation and use qualified professionals and in return I have been insulted by some people as a resident doom monger trying to make people panic unnecessarily.   Well am pleased to say I have been vindicated. Recently a fellow Omonile Lawyer Reader alerted me to a paid Advert in the Guardian about some plots of land illegally acquired fraudulently under Government acquisition and the survey plans drawn up fraudulently to procure Governors consent for the land.   Those Governor’s Consents have been revoked by Governor Fashola himself and the people who bought the lands have lost Millions of  Naira of their money and lands for not doing a proper land investigation and engaging fraudulent surveyors who connive with Omoniles to commit atrocities.   Surveyor Folarin is our guest property blogger today and has being kind enough to write an article about this and it's stated below. Attached here is a copy of the Revocation notice. If una like from today, don't do a proper land verification search before you buy land, we would be reading about your land revocation in the papers and title withdrawal.   All those quacks Agents shouting and advising people that you can buy land under processing or there is nothing wrong buying a land that is under acquisition or Omonile Lawyer is always talking rubbish, over to you, Fashola is ready to answer you now with the only language you understand: Demolition, Cancellation of fraudulent documents and revocation of lands fraudulently acquired.   Also most of you banding about Governors consents, gazettes, deeds of assignment, Survey plans or C/os and posing that you have genuine documents, you better go and reconfirm what your holding as genuine documents at the Land registry before we read your own revocation in City People tomorrow. A word is enough for he wise. God will not let your own be amongst them oooo! Amin                

CAN A SURVEY PLAN MAKE OR MAR YOUR PROPERTY TRANSACTIONS?

 

Well, the answer to this question is not farfetched..On 11th February, 2013 in Guardian newspapers, the Lagos State Government issued a notice of cancellation of Governor’s Consent for two properties located at Eputu village in Ibeju-Lekki Local Government Area.

  The cancellation published and signed by Governor Babatunde Fashola was in respect of deed of assignment between Orudu family and Fresh Field Farm Limited as well as between Eletu Family and Fresh Field Farm Limited.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE FACTS OF THE CASE FILED:

  The Statement of claim alleges that the “defendants misrepresented to the claimants a false and pretended deed of assignment of the following properties in the OGUNDAIRO BASHORUN AND SUNMONU AKANO FAMILY LANDS AT AMUWO ODOFIN LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA OF LAGOS STATE   The first Claimant alleges that sometime in 2005 he was sold a piece of land by the defendant measuring approximately 1023.534 square meters for N1.5Million and another land measuring approximately 1953.036 square meters for N2Million while the second Claimants jointly also alleged that sometime in 2005 they were sold a piece of land by the defendant measuring approximately 3417.094 square meters for N3Million.   The Claimants further claimed that after they erected a fence to take possession of the property they bought from the defendants, they were now bombarded by a plethora of lawsuit with respect to that particular land from different quarters such as the Lagos State Government and the Chairman of the Ifelodun local government and while that case was still going on.   Another set of people and companies in 2009 also contested ownership of that same land in dispute against the claimants and in 2010 again another set of people contested ownership of this same land and brought concrete evidence that the land belongs to them by virtue of a Certificate of Occupancy granted to them by the Lagos state government in 1977.

OMONILE LAWYER FINAL THOUGHTS ON THIS LAND DISPUTE:

  Am sorry to say this but i don't think Chevron will be that stupid to take over a portion of land in Lagos without either  being allocated the lands by the Lagos state Government or buying the land from a trusted source and perfecting their papers. I strongly believe there is a hidden motive behind this suit and i eagerly await Chevron's defence to this suit to know what is really going on.
