In an amended statement of claim dated March 3, 2016, filed by his lawyer, Bolaji Mustapha, the claimant averred that the 5.708 hectares covered by Survey Plan No. LS/D/LKJ 1876 was excised to it by the Lagos State government from their original plot measuring 54.856 hectares. He said that he was represented by the seventh defendant, one Rilwan Dawodu, in the negotiations for out-of-court settlement initiated by the fourth, fifth and sixth defendants. The claimant alleged that Dawodu refused to make the Terms of Settlement available to him on the grounds that it had yet to be signed by the other parties, which was later found to be untrue. He averred that the seventh defendant, purporting to represent the Oloto Royal Family, connived with the first to sixth defendant and gave part of the 5.708 hectares to the first to third defendants. In an affidavit in support of a motion on notice dated March 3, 2016, deposed to by family’s secretary, Chief Mohammed Akinola, the claimant alleged that the defendants recruited Mobile Policemen and “thugs and bandits armed with guns, cutlasses,” who attacked members of the family in a bid to forcibly erect a signpost on our land.”]]>
