I just returned to the office after an hectic time in court yesterday. Not quite long i arrived, three clients walked in and were asked to exercise little patience for me to freshen up to attend to them. I finally attended to them, and what brought them in was a petition against land grabbers. They bought 2acres from the Omoniles in 2012 and purchase receipt was given. To their greatest surprise, they discovered same lands were re-sold to a third party by the same sellers. I carefully observed that there are cautions and conditions at the bottom of the receipt stating that land buyers who fail to develop same land within 6months shall forfeit same.

The fact remains that most of us don't knw our rights. Once u buy a land, it is permanently yours, whether or not u develop it, though it's advisable that you develop or make concrete demarcation as earliest as possible because of encroachment like this. However, we advise that you ask relevant questions before you pay. Involve your lawyer to look into every document, else the consequences may be unbearable.
