Lagos Firms File Appeal Against Court Ruling On Final Forfeiture Of 52 Lekki Housing Units

The appellants are also asking the appellate court to stop the enforcement of the July 14, 2026 judgment, pending the determination of their appeal

Some firms including Fieldreams Limited, Ifeanyi Nweke and Amex Savings and Loans Limited have approached the Lagos division of Court of Appeal, seeking to overturn a Federal High Court judgment that ordered the final forfeiture of 52 terrace and maisonette units at Mercyville Estate, Lekki Peninsula Scheme, Eti-Osa Local Government Area of Lagos State.

The appellants are also asking the appellate court to stop the enforcement of the July 14, 2026 judgment, pending the determination of their appeal.

The Appellants in a motion filed before the Court of Appeal, through their lawyer, Victor Ukutt, are praying for an order staying the execution of the Federal High Court's final forfeiture order.

Alternatively, they seek an order preserving the subject property and maintaining the status quo until the appeal is determined.
