An Ondo State High Court sitting at Okitipupa, has resolved a lingering land dispute that had spanned 106 years in Igbokoda, the headquarters of Ilaje Local Council of the state.

In the suit, HOK/51/2019 Oloja Juwon Semudara, the claimant had sued Benjamin Olomidegun over dredging operations in the area, claiming that the land was sold to him by the Apoi people, while legal battles were going on with Igbokoda, Mahin, and Ilaje communities.

He further contended that Semudara had no land in any part of Igbokoda, which included Kofawe, Kurugbene, and Ipinle, which are distinct and separate communities. In the 19-page judgment delivered by Justice Temitope Adedipe, the court observed that all the parties agreed that Kurugbene and Kofawe were separate and distinct communities, which the claimant and his witnesses confirmed in evidence.
