pigmania:After 12 years? Yes. It's always good to chase away any unwanted illegal occupants within the vicinity of one's property. |

IamAsiri:Not after I am duly paying my tenement tax and other city utility levies like waste collection bill even if the building remains vacant. I will leave him to stay freely for the 12ys , then I will drag his ass to both civil and criminal court. Criminal court for trespassing and declare an insane amount of money or asset missing from the property. I will then simultaneously sue his ass for back rent at an insane annual rent amount and demand interest and all 12 yes accumulated rent. When I slam #100,000,000 per annum as rent per year multiplied by the 12 yes he was illegally occupying my property plus current interest rate of 27% PA, and demand the court I take possession of his life going forward as my slave and property to do as I deem fit in recovering my money. |

---the lawyer may be right---as this is legal in the UK--- https://www.gov.uk/squatting-law/squatters-rights-to-property A long-term squatter can become the registered owner of property or land they have occupied without the owner’s permission. Who can apply You can apply if you can prove: you, or a succession of squatters, have occupied the property continuously for 10 years (12 years if it’s not registered with HM Land Registry) you (or your predecessors) acted as owners of the property for the whole of that time you (or any of your predecessors) did not have the owner’s permission, for example the property was not originally rented to a squatter |

This Lawyer sef, he NOSE too much. Try that on my property, na your ancestors go recieve you for the other side. In this Nigeria where everyone are mad at the same time is where you'll come and possess someone's building that he suffered to erect. RIP will be easily dished out to the claimant with no remorse. |

I know of an uncompleted duplex in an estate in Abuja where one Fulani man and his family entered and were living in it for years. According to rumours, the owner of the duplex came there and saw them after tip off from neighbours in the estate, chatted with the man and left and that was it. The owner never returned back to the premises till date and it's been over 15 years now. An estate in Apo Mechanic |

The easiest way is to join APC and ensures the land dispute is judged by one Omotosho. It is already in the annals of history that judges sang a politician's campaign song in their annual conference. |

For that period that the person is in the house, he will not have any peace, so what is the meaning of being in a place for 10 to 12 years without peace of mind, it doesn't make any sense to me |

GanagiBitrus:No they are not. The law is to ensure people don’t buy land and abandon it or horde land and not use it |
| Re: How To Legally Acquire A House For Free In Nigeria – Lawyer Explains (Photos/Vid by Stayingalive: 5:06am On Nov 19, 2025 |
Heffalump:The law is real o. Aside from restricted government region, always use a land bought else someone else can take it if you abandon it. It is legal and 12 years is the minimum year occupancy without challenge to be claimed |

Goo0dHardDick:That is why the Bible warned against throwing pearls to swynes. Someone just taught you for free a law principle, which could be a tool used to prevent someone from usurping your land legally, but you turn and trrample on it. |

Most of the buildings intentionally laundered and kept unoccupied in Ikoyi Lagos will be occupied soon. How can some set of people built or purchased houses and kept it unoccupied while some are homeless? This is insane |
