ALAGBAKA EXTENSION LANDLORDS TACKLE OLOKUNJUWON, UMELU FAMILIES OVER DEMAND FOR LAND PURCHASE REGULARISATION
… Describe harassment of house owners including the Governor as contempt of court and attempt to short-change judicial process
The Landlords Association of Alagbaka Extension Phase 2 in Akure has frowned at the members of Olokunjuwon and Umelu Families for pasting posters demanding regularisation of land purchase with the families.
The Association in a statement argued that the matter involving Landlords as interested parties against the families is still pending in the Supreme Court in SC/CV/1151/2022 CA/AK/105A/2017 SUIT NO: AK/173/2012.
According to the statement, the matter has been slated for March 27, 2027.
The Association argued that the signatory to the poster on various gates and houses including that of Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa’s personal house, O.V Omotayo and the families were served and they are aware of this fact.
While noting that Ondo State High Court registry is also aware of the fact, the association described pasting of posters demanding regularisation of land purchase as contempt of court and a criminal attempt to short-change the judicial process.
“The stay of execution granted by the state High Court is in respect of the Appeal at Supreme Court in SC/CV/1151/2022 which is still pending in Supreme Court”.
“The stay of execution granted to the Owners and Residents by Justice Adebusoye is still subsisting until the determination of the supreme Court case adjourned to March 2027”.
“It is a global judicial practice that once a matter is before a supreme court, no execution from a lower court can be carried out until the matter is disposed off”.
The Landlords Association therefore advised Landlords and house owners that the matter had not been concluded and and still pending alls no one should be embarrassed.
