Lagos State High Court sitting in Ikeja
The Lagos State High Court, sitting in Igbosere, has restrained further demolition, excavation and construction on a disputed property at 168 Broad Street, Lagos Island.
Justice Yetunde Adesanya issued the pre-emptive order following an application by Dr Abimbola Adebowale, who alleged that the property was partly demolished before Taiwo Yusuf allegedly took possession and began preparations to develop the premises.
The dispute followed a 48-hour enforcement notice issued by the Lagos Island Local Government on August 6, 2026, directing occupants of the property to vacate and remove containers and other structures it described as illegal.
The notice, signed by A. O. Ojora on behalf of the council engineer, warned that failure to comply within 48 hours would attract appropriate enforcement action under applicable laws and regulations.
