According to the judgement handed down by Justice Serifat Sonaike in the matter, the judge said that the demolition of properties in Araromi Ale and Atinporomeh communities in Badagry was unlawful.

The claimants have alleged officers from the Lagos State Task Force and the police for putting the community under siege and eventually pulling down their houses with bulldozers.
