Owners demand N50m compensation for demolished Ogudu houses
Some landlords of Ogudu in Lagos State are seeking the payment of the N50million damages awarded them for the demolition of their houses about three years ago by a woman, Mrs Aderonke Oshinowo.
They have asked the government and the police to help them collect the compensation awarded them last year by a court.
In a swift reaction, Oshinowo said she would pay them, asking them to give her time to raise the money.
The Lagos State Task Force on Land Grabbing demolished 18 houses at Peter Oki/Raphael streets, Ogudu, for allegedly encroaching on Oshinowo’s land.
