 Crisis as Magodo residents resist Adeyiga family’s threat to retrieve land

By Dayo Badmus,

Residents of Magodo, a Lagos suburb, and the Adeyiga family have reignited their hostilities.

The gate of the Shangisha Estate, off CMD Road, was locked as of 4am on Wednesday.

Nobody could either come in or go out. Commercial activities have been paralysed.

Members of Adeyiga family, armed with a Supreme Court judgment, have asked the house owners to vacate the land.

Residents complained that the family has threatened to pull down the houses with bulldozers.

Being a Lagos State acquired land, the landlords claimed that they have Certificates of Occupancy (C of O) from the government.

On Tuesday night when the crisis broke out, following the insistence of the family to retrieve its vast lands, it took the chairman of Ikosi Isheri Council to restore order.

There was pandemonium as residents resisted the attempt to eject them.
