The Akinole-Oshiun family of Agidingbi, Ikeja, Lagos State, has appealed to President Bola Tinubu to intervene in a dispute over an 8,000-square-metre parcel of land, alleging that lawmaker James Faleke and the Ogun-Oshun River Basin Development Authority (OORBDA) are seeking to eject it from the property.
The disputed land is located along Lateef Jakande Road, opposite the Coca-Cola factory in Agidingbi, Ikeja, Lagos State
In an open letter shared with PREMIUM TIMES on Monday, the family alleged that Mr Faleke, who represents Ikeja Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, recently visited the property with land agents and lawyers while pursuing what the family described as a long lease from OORBDA.
The family further alleged that the lawmaker threatened to deploy “presidential power” and the police to remove it from the land.
The allegations are part of a wider dispute over land in Agidingbi that has been the subject of litigation for decades.
