Listed as defendants in the suit were the Governor of Lagos State; the Lagos State Government; the state’s Commissioner for Commerce, Industry and Cooperatives; and the state’s Attorney General.
Delivering judgment in the case, Justice Ogunsanya said, “The court finds that the claimant is entitled to a statutory right of occupancy over the subject land and I so hold. “The court finds that the defendants were unable to satisfactorily establish compliance with the provisions of the law on the revocation of the right of occupancy of the claimant.”
While declaring that the Lagos State Government failed to comply with the provisions of Section 28 of the Land Use Act, the judge ordered the state to “restore onto the claimant the land allocated to him on 4th December, 2014 and in the event that the land is no longer available, the claimant is to be compensated and resettled on a land equal in value to the parcel of land unlawfully acquired by the defendants.
In addition, the judge ordered the state to pay the claimant N3m general damages with 21 per cent interest per annum.All rights reserved.
