Buying lands in Lagos is usually complicated. In case you are lucky enough to have bought your land genuinely, you should be ready to contend with omoniles demanding for various illegal fees, ranging from agreement, job card, fencing, security, Germany floor, decking, roofing and all kind of frivolous fees.

During construction, you will see hoodlums coming around to task developers and their workers like bricklayers, iron benders, carpenters for illegal fees. They charge developers for sand,granite,cement or any materials delivered to site and beat up workers when they are not paid and stop them from working. This trend has discouraged many potential land buyers, investors and developers.
This new law known as “Lagos State Properties Protection Law “in section 11 has prohibited any person from demanding those fees.

Demand for fee

"a person shall not, whether for himself or acting as an agent demand for any fee or levy in respect of construction activities on any property, disrupt or obstruct construction works provided that the provision of this section shall not be interpreted to preclude land owning families under the authorization of the family head to demand for customary fee for possession from buyers or ratification fee pursuant to judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction”.

(2) Any person who contravenes the provision of subsection (1) above commits an offence and shall on conviction be liable to a fine not exceeding one million naira (N1,000,000) or two (2) years imprisonment or both"

The method we have devised since this law came out is always take a copy of the law with you. Any time they come around to demand for this illegal fee, just bring it out and read out section 11 to them that they risk 2 years imprisonment for demanding for construction fee. This trick has worked wonders. They will be begging you not to take any further action but begging you to forgive them and give them anything you want. That is how it should be and not the other way round.
