Lawyer you need to clearly understand what ikorodu familes normally do to get judge ment. One or two person in the same family will go to court telling the court that the rest of the family members knew he wasn't aware when they where sharing the property which the family members will testify to be true.

So what do you expect from our judiciary.

God will bless you suddenly!Most people who are not aware of that zone comment as if people there are not literates.

olas24u:
Do you have a copy of the judgement ?

Its available with the Association of Landlords but this has spread so much since it got online and Nairaland.This week people will answer questions i believe.

Ilaje44:


My advice is that the affected people form an association, and get a good lawyer to fight the issue at the law court. This is the reason it's important to always get your land duely surveyed and registered with the government.

The Judges are bought bro,they approved this shitty payments and its the in thing in Ikorodu now.The lawyers are being paid to represent but they are getting fees that are too much to bear.

Akainzo:
Not sure what this is all about, but the solution is simple: APPEAL THE JUDGEMENT!!!

We all cant be going to court all the time to appeal.The justice system should be corrected and watch out for corrupt judges that has been bought.

omonnakoda:
The fathers did not have authority to sell.Family land cannot be sold. It can only be leased. Caveat emptor.
Otherwise why don't Shell and Mobil say they have bought the land and so they wwill not pay derivation money to the natives. Can you g to Kano State buy 1000 hectares of land build houses ,bring in 10000 Ijaws and then appoint an Amayanabo or Igwe or Oba. Buying land is not like buying bread especially in rural communities where Native law subsists

Where did you lease yours?

dotcomnamename:
[size=15pt]Family land? I will advice any land buyer to buy it from INDIVIDUAL through your lawyer...

These land-grabbers are taking us back to the stone age of violence, barbarism and ridiculous way of doing things.

They should change their name to Omo Ale... (Basta.rds)


Jobless cunts...[/size]

The Government has been too silent on this issues especially in IKORODU!

omonnakoda:
You cannot BUY family land. You only purchase a lease and even then you must be careful that those selling have the family authority to do so

This is a vast piece of land the family sold,the children are not even claiming its illegally sold they just want to get money because the fathers are dead.THIS is wrong on all fronts.

Corruption of the Judicial system in Ikorodu by Land Speculators to the detriment of the Poor masses

I will like to use this opportunity to bring to the notice of the Lagos State Government and the entire Judicial system within the state of the ongoing corruption of the Judicial system and the subversion of justice within Ikorodu Local Government Area.

It is a known fact within the local government that the Land Speculators popularly known as ”Omo onile” are fond of taking cases to court for owners of lands in residential areas to come and repurchase the land because they formerly paid to their fathers or Grandfathers so it is their turn to benefit from the purchase of such lands.

The latest one going on in Ikorodu is the Aga (Gbasemo Area) which covers a wide expanse of land and also an old residential area. These particular set of Omo Onile’s have gone to court to request that the land in the entire Area must be repurchased and people must pay them because the land was bought from their fathers.

They got this strange judgement that residents should pay a sum of N450, 000 each on a plot of land .The reason why they get these kind of judgement all the time is that there is huge CORRUPTION WITHIN THE JUSTICE SYSTEM in Ikorodu. These judgements are against the laws of contract and sales.

We have so many people in these area some of who are retired civil servants, serving civil servants and first class state citizens like Justice K.O Alogba , Honourable Lanre Balogun and the likes.

Now the question is
• How will a Judge issue this kind of judgement on people who purchased lands legally?

• Where in the law of contracts and sales does it say lands should be repurchased from the children of the owners?

• This is now the culture in Ikorodu, what is the justice commission doing about this?

• What protection is Government giving to the poor masses who voted to bring them to power?

• This trend has been going on and the Government of Lagos State has been quiet on this, does this mean this will be the way to go for everyone in the state?

• How will the retired public servants be able to pay this money?

• This will definitely lead to harassment, how will the people be protected from this land speculators?

Conclusively, I call on the Governor of Lagos State to urgently look into this matter as part of what APC promised us in Lagos State is protection and not oppression and injustice.
