The Ministry further clarified that the Supreme Court judgment which mandated Lagos State government to give back 549 plots to the original landowners of the area is not affixed to any specific land, but only declared that the judgment creditors are entitled to allocation of land by the Lagos state governor.
The ministry further assured that an investigation into the invasion is underway, adding that anyone found culpable will be prosecuted.
During the invasion, the group used red, brown and blue inks to inscribe ‘ID/795/88 Possession Taken Today 21/12/21 by Court Order,’ on various property on the estate.
The incident led to a commotion on Wednesday, and disrupted economic activities in the estate and business owners were shut out.
