Redeemed Church Is Fighting With Community In Ilara Ogijo Over Land Matter by osunsina: 1:40pm On Oct 14, 2015 |
Some residents of a
community in Ogun State
have dragged the Redeemed
Christian Church of God,
RCCG, its General Overseer,
Enoch Adeboye, and 14
others to court for alleged
encroachment on a piece of
land.
The plaintiffs claim that the
land, located in Ilara Village,
Sagamu Local Government
Area of Ogun State, belongs
to them. Through their
counsel, Kayode Akinsola,
they filed a suit number
HOS/130/15, dated August 10
at an Ogun High Court in
Sagamu.
In documents seen by
PREMIUM TIMES, the
plaintiffs in the suit claim the
land was sold to them by the
Ilara Descendants family and
receipts issued to about 150
buyers. They said they
occupied the land for a while
before the defendants
arrived.
They said it was in April 2015
they noticed trespassers on
their lands; and after inquiry
they discovered the
trespassers to be agents of the
defendants. They said
sometime in June 2015, they
saw some men on their land
using bulldozers to pull down
their buildings. They said
they discovered that the
demolitions were carried out
on the instruction of the
Redeemed Church, one of
Nigeria’s largest and richest
churches.
In the suit, the claimants are
demanding a declaration that
they are the true owners of
their respective land; an
order of perpetual injunction
restraining the defendants,
their agents or privies from
trespassing on the land;
special damages of N100
million, among others.
The court has fixed
September 3 for the hearing
of the case. |
