The defendants in an alleged fraudulent sale of land located at Wasimi, Maryland have decided to settle out of court following an enrolment order in the case granted by a Lagos High Court sitting in Ikeja.

A Lagos-based lawyer, Olajide Ajana had earlier dragged the defendants, one of whom is a Redeemed Christian Church of God pastor, Goke Aniyeloye, Stephen ibitoye, and Lagos State government to court over the alleged land transaction.

In a 46-paragraph Statement of Claim, Ajana stated that Ibitoye engaged his services in 2013, at a time the defendant was broke and couldn’t pay him and therefore opted to pay for the legal services rendered with some portions of the land equivalent to five acres and three plots. Ajana further sought an order stating that any sale/transfer of the said five acres and three plots of land or any portion of the said land at Wasimi Maryland Lagos, which Ibitoye had assigned in lieu of the professional fees to the claimant to Aniyeloye or any persons is wrongful, illegal, null and void.

To further display the defendants’ readiness for an out-of-court settlement, Aniyeloye on October 19, 2022, in a signed letter headed ‘’FET, Favour Executive Transports’’, stated that he would be informing his lawyer to withdraw all suits filed against Ajana.
