If you’re planning to invest in land across Yaba, Ketu, Ojodu Berger, Ijesha, Maryland, or Esolo, there’s breaking news you can’t ignore. A massive Lagos land dispute between Tinubu vs Ojumor chieftaincy families is threatening property rights over 7,500 hectares of land in Lagos State.
The Land Battle No One Told You About (Tinubu vs Ojumor)
Legal documents reveal an ongoing dispute between the Ojumor family of Lagos Mainland and the Tinubu family, with both laying claim to vast stretches of land across the city. While the matter is still in court, the Lagos State Government has been accused of encroaching on these lands and allocating them to private buyers and developers.
These areas are affected:
- Yaba
- Ketu
- Ojodu Berger
- Maryland
- Ijesha
- Esolo
- Odo Ido
Court Orders Are Being Ignored
Despite a court injunction halting development, developers continue to sell and build on the land. Thousands of innocent investors may have unknowingly purchased encumbered property.
This is a ticking time bomb. If you’re one of those buyers, your land could be taken, demolished, or locked in legal battle for years.
How to Protect Yourself
- Visit EncumberedProperties.com to verify if your land falls within the disputed zones.
- Consult a real estate lawyer before making any land purchase in Lagos.
- Demand survey plans, land coordinates, and original C-of-O before any transaction.
What If You’ve Already Bought?
If you’ve already bought into these areas, act fast:
- Demand full documentation from your seller or developer.
- Check if a court case affects your parcel.
- If misled, consider filing for fraudulent misrepresentation or seeking a refund.
Don’t Be the Next Victim
