According to the Lagos government, the case dates back to the demolition of properties at Shangisha village between 1984 and 1985, after which a supreme court verdict ordered the state to give the Shangisha landlords 549 plots of land as a “matter of first priority”.

Malawian:
Sanwo Plus should allocate Magodo 2 to Adeyiga and then revoke it immediately. The Land Use Decree vested all lands in Lagos State under his care. There are many ways to skin a chicken.

getemail:


He can't do shit... if not he would have been revoking many people's land... and give to their cronies

FreeStuffsNG:
They should face Supreme Court that pronounced that the true owners of the land were cheated and the land be returned to them.

In my opinion, this issue has absolutely nothing to do with Malami and they will be playing to the gallery by attempting to politicize it. Thank God the true owners of the land who were cheated for several years took the path of legal redress instead of taking the laws into their own hands. The SC judgement is a serious indictment on the state and it will be nice if the judgement winners petition EFCC to investigate and prosecute those Lagos State officials who originally sold the land after dispossessing the true owners .

This issue can't be closed with just returning the land, it's an opportunity to see the faces of those who put LASG in this disgraceful position where the Governor is engaging in the criminality of attempting to block the enforcement of a SC judgement and even the LASG AG resorted to twisting the SC judgement and outrightly threatening the judgement winners.
With the kind of advice the Attorney General gave the Governor, the judgement winners should report the AG to NJC and NBA disciplinary committee.

Until the judgement winners petition EFCC, those standing against the execution of the judgement won't realise the severity of the injustice committed against private citizens who had to go hungry for years just to get back their property.

sonofElElyon:


I think the issue is why is malami involved in the judgement execution
Why must malami personally get involved
It is worth investigating! It creates a suspicion of monetary or proprietary benefit to be conferred on him for "helping out".
No one is questioning the validity of the supreme court judgement... But the malami angle needs to be investigated..

p.s. the victims here are those allotted plots by Lagos government.. they are not really parties to the dispute between Lagos and the original landowners but are now those suffering..
For their sakes, the Lagos State and the original landowners should reach a compromise / settlement.. maybe payment by Lagos to the original landowners for the plots affected

This nonsense overcentralization of governance in Nigeria must STOP!! It's the major impediment to the growth of nations in the country!

How can a governor assure his residents of safety when he can't even give orders to the security officers in the state!

Madness!

PS - Malami Minions are trying to divert the discussion to the supreme Court judgement rather than the real issue which is the ABSURDITY of the Governor of a state not being aware of a security operation in his domain and the CSP disregarding a direct order from him to stand down!

Thanks for your insightful output on thus issue.
We now understand it better and know where all the hullabaloo is coming from.

It is always good and refreshing to see we still have reasonable and sensible members like you on this forum.


Btw, we gave you your first like Man of God!

Good one! Unfortunately, there's nothing anyone can do to upturn the supreme court judgement. The worst thing that can happen is for both defendants and plaintiff to settle out of court, should the former agree to the arrangement.

I've been saying this times without number. Lies can run for 20 years but in a split second, the truth will overtake it. When the lagos landlord was busy intimidating people and wielding power via his wolves and hyenas, all the way from iragbiji in osun state his hometown and became untouchable, it was like his rulership would last forever. The same judiciary he had been using to have his way in everything is now wielding a stick on his back. You can't cheat people forever, you can't be a slave driver forever. The majority of lagos directors-general, senior staff and key politicians have houses in magodo, curtesy Tinubu. Many odbthem aren't even sons and daughters of Lagos.

Our uncle Pa Jakande developed lagos without leaving disgruntled feelings in the minds of people in Lagos. All the land owners were duly compensated. I remember the Jakande Estate and other estates he built during his tenure in the 80s. All the aworis were well compensated. He gave the affected groups scholarships, employment and lands in other parts of lagos before he embarked on the erstwhile largest estate in Africa becore Gwarinpa overtook it.

Tinubu came and deployed his thugs to intimidate people over land issues. Too ba gbemu, you'd smell death if you didn't die eventually. Nice judgement ever. Gradually, we will take back what belongs to us. Magodo landlords should approach the court and do the needful. Their money must not go just like that. Supreme court judgement is supreme according to its name and there's nothing anyone can do about it. I'm not a fan of the apc but malami is in order in this. He's the AGF and MOJ.

2mNaira:



But the Supreme court never said the state should neccessarily return the land back to the judgement creditors. The supreme Court gave an option of being given replacement lands of their choice in other parts of Lagos. It is this option that the Lagos State government is trying to explore that is why Lagos State see it as a case of reallocation.

So, hastily going to demolish the buildings on the land may not be the best resolution.

Modified:
Please EFCC has nothing to do with this. A recent Supreme court ruling has clearly stated that EFCC only has no business with cases that do not involve moving money illegally out of Nigeria.

As far as I am concerned your submission is senseless under this scenario. You might have excited those who reason against knowledge and the power of the State governor in a Federal System of government.

Somebody asked why Honourable Kuye from Somolu District was involved. They said only Honourable Agunsoye should have been involved because he represents Kosofe. All this needs no explanation.

I am not against Shangisha land owners and at the same time not against the present State government of governor Sanwoolu. This is because of my knowledge of Shangisha history and that of Festac extension. Shangisha was a village / slum / swamps in 1984 during the military era. I know some of the owners of land in that place in the 80s that had died long time ago and their children are awaiting millions from that Magodo land and those awaiting settlement for services rendered in the pursuit of the case. LASG is also aware of this.

The problem is the judgement from Supreme Court and the value of the land now. In my earlier submission on this topic, the value of the land to be determined by the Shangisha Landlord Association and their real estate valuers and those with C of O in the Estate. This places the burden on the State government. The State is yet to recover from End SARS destruction.

Federal agencies cannot come to execute judgement in State on a matter where the State government is indirectly the culprit. I observed in the United States that is why each State has her own Supreme Court and Laws vary from States to States. I am against Law enforcement agent disobeying instructions from a Standing State governor. I am also against Estate Security humiliating a State Police Commissioner from entering an Estate within his State of oversight. I think it is ignorance on the side of the security about the powers of a State Police Commissioner.

There are lots of crisis on the ground in Yoruba land. Elites need to come together to support Prof Akintoye and IOO. There are several ways issues can be resolved.
