The Position of the Olubunmi Family

The Olubunmi Family firmly reiterates its lawful ownership of the Alimosho land and unequivocally rejects all claims made by the Ejigbadero family. These claims are false, legally defective, and issues that have long been conclusively resolved by courts of competent jurisdiction.

Absence of Any Lawful Sale (1970)

At no point did the Olubunmi Family sell or transfer any portion of its land to the late Jimoh Ishola Ejigbadero. There is no valid receipt, agreement, deed, or any legally recognised instrument evidencing such a transaction.

Allegations of payment in Naira in 1970 are historically implausible, unsupported by evidence, and incapable of verification.

Void Conveyance Document (1974)

The alleged Deed of Conveyance dated 18 December 1974 is void ab initio. It was never authorised, executed, or ratified by the Olubunmi Family, bears no valid family signatures, and contains fatal survey inconsistencies. While the document purports to cover 1,060 acres, the attached survey plan reflects 1,161.6 acres.These contradictions and defects render the document legally invalid and unenforceable.

Binding Court Decisions

In Suit No. ID/589M/2003, the court dismissed the claims of the Ejigbadero family and held them liable for trespass and acts of land grabbing.

Earlier, in Suit No. ID/238/1986, the court unequivocally declared the Olubunmi Family as the rightful owners of the land and made consequential orders against unauthorised occupants. The Olubunmi Family and its tenants have remained in uninterrupted possession of the land from time immemorial.

Criminal Proceedings and Forensic Findings

Criminal complaints bordering on forgery, impersonation, and perjury have been duly filed and remain on official record. One of the principal actors was charged, remanded in prison custody, and later granted bail upon meeting the prescribed conditions. Official records exist to confirm these facts.

Furthermore, a Legal Advice issued by the Director of Public Prosecutions does not alter the established fact that the document being paraded by the Ejigbadero family was confirmed to be forged by the Nigerian Police Forensic Science Laboratory, Alagbon.

DPP Legal Advice Does Not Establish Title

A Legal Advice from the Director of Public Prosecutions does not confer, validate, or determine title to land. Ownership of land can only be established through valid instruments of conveyance and affirmed by subsisting court judgments.

Conclusion

The dispute concerning the Alimosho land has been finally and conclusively settled by the courts. The Olubunmi Family remains the lawful and rightful owner of the land.

The claims advanced by the Ejigbadero family are fundamentally defective, internally inconsistent, and have been repeatedly defeated in court. No measure of intimidation, political influence, or persistent repetition can revive a title that has been extinguished by law.
