Kosofe Inside Out'

LAND DISPUTE IN LAGOS: OMOJUWA FAMILY SEEKS PUBLIC INTERVENTION OVER ANCESTRAL LAND AT MILE 12 The Omojuwa family has raised concerns over an ongoing land dispute involving its ancestral property at Mile 12, Kosofe, Lagos State, following what the family describes as an alleged illegal attempt by the Ikosi-Isheri Local Council Development Area (LCDA) to take over the property. According to the family, the land has been in its possession for over 50 years, having been passed down through generations. The family is therefore seeking clarification and an amicable resolution of the matter, insisting that its ancestral inheritance must be protected and that any action affecting the property should strictly follow due process and the rule of law. While acknowledging the authority of government institutions, the family maintains that no public office or position should be used in a manner that undermines the lawful property rights of citizens. The family is consequently appealing to the Lagos State Government, relevant authorities, human rights organisations, traditional institutions and members of the public to intervene, ensure transparency and prevent any action that could result in the loss of its ancestral property without a fair and lawful resolution. This is a call for justice, fairness and respect for the rule of law. The Omojuwa family seeks neither confrontation nor preferential treatment, but a fair opportunity to defend its inheritance and have the matter resolved through the appropriate legal channels.
