I used a lawyer, He didn't help me find out about it.

DedeNkem:
How could you be so stupid? You should have used a lawyer to purchase the land! If there was a problem with the land, the lawyer would found.

All my property purchases are handled by my lawyer. That way, everything is well scrutinized and verified before any purchase!

Be smart and consult a lawyer now before you lose your money!

A legitimate lawyer who knows what he/she is doing wouldn't make such inept mistake.

You must hold him responsible for any loss. Get a good lawyer to investigate.

Your lawyer's ineptitude is unforgivable. Perhaps he/she is not a proper lawyer.

I am a Lawyer. You can ask your surveyor to take the coordinates do a chat and find out the real status of the land. Some government lands can be ratified if they are not committed, but I doubt if this the case with yours. The fact that a land has a C of O does not mean it is free or ok, the only way to know the status of your land, especially in Lagos state, is to take a real surveyor to the land, let him take the coordinates and do a proper chat, N5-10k should do that for you. Please next time do not put the cart before the horse. My 15years experience in Lagos speaking. 08052736007, 08087789471-whatsApp

Are you still in business?

Federal Government land or State Government? Whichever it is, make a formal application for grant of the land. if the proposed bridge is still in contemplation, you'll be denied and if it has been realigned and the land is now free from encumbrance, you'll be granted.

But don't place all hopes on it, that's why it is safer to contract a Lawyer to conduct inspection before encroaching or buying any land.

Thank you for this input
Can you do land verifications?
