Lateef Lawal, the husband of Nollywood actress, Lizzy Anjorin, is currently embroiled in a land-grabbing dispute.

Naija News reports that files from the  Magistrate Court in Oyingbo Ebute-Metta listed Lawal among individuals sued for demolishing structures on a property owned by one Faith Ojo.

Lawal purportedly escaped arrest in Ikoyi, Lagos State, on February 5, 2024, while his associate was apprehended and sent to prison.

Involved in the case is one Alhaji Sulaimon of Okun-Ajah, Eti-Osa, Lagos State, and others.

Ojo, in the lawsuit, is identified as a Nigerian businesswoman based in the United States.

The land with plan no “AGA/2582/037J/2020/LA”, the claimant revealed, is located in Okun-Ajah, Eti-Osa Lagos

Among the defendants are Rasheed Olukosi, Muniru Olukosi, Saheed Olukosi, Kareem Wasiu Jagun, Sulaimon Bolaji, Muritala Musbau, and Kehinde Jagun.

They were accused alongside Lawal of demolishing some structures on the land in what Ojo described as “land grabbing” in her suit.

Ojo sought N30 million as compensation and asked that the defendants cover both the cost of litigation and petitioning the police

She sought a “perpetual injunction” against the defendants “from entering, developing, and occupying” the two-plot land.

The case against Lawal is coming against the backdrop of accusations claiming that his wife, Lizzy Anjorin allegedly made a fake mobile banking transfer in a Lagos store.

Former Senate President Olubukola Saraki has taken to his social media page to mourn the former group chairman of Nigerian Exchange Group Plc (NGX Group), Bimbo Ogunbajo, who died alongside the Group Managing Director of Access Bank Corporation Herbert Wigwe and other members of his family while travelling in California.

Naija News had reported on Saturday that Wigwe was feared dead when a helicopter conveying him and five others to Las Vegas crashed on Friday night near the California-Nevada border in the US.

It was gathered that apart from Wigwe, his wife, his son, and three other people are believed to have died in the crash.

However, in a post via his official X account on Sunday, Saraki, who said he was still in shock and was struggling to process the news of the tragic incident, described Ogunbanjo as a remarkable man whose exemplary leadership and contribution to the Nigerian Stock Exchange were unparalleled.

Saraki wrote , “I am still in shock, struggling to process the news of the passing of my dear friend, Bimbo Ogunbanjo, in yesterday’s helicopter crash in California.

“Bimbo was a remarkable man, whose exemplary leadership and contributions to the Nigerian Stock Exchange were unparalleled. He possessed a unique ability to inspire and lead with integrity.

“The news is even more heartbreaking knowing that Bimbo had just laid his own father to rest late last year. Experiencing such profound loss twice in such a short period is unimaginable.

“My thoughts and prayers are with his family, especially his dear wife, Titi, and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time.”
