Lagos Assembly Adopts Report on Oteshad Land Claim

On Tuesday, the Lagos State House of Assembly adopted a report concerning a land claim by the Oteshad royal family, located in Igbara Oteshad, Oko Ado Village, Sangotedo, within the Eti Osa Local Government Area. The decision followed the presentation of the committee's report, chaired by Oladipupo Ajomal, who conducted an oversight visit to the disputed land alongside officials from the Lagos State Land Bureau and the Lagos State New Town Development Authority.

The committee's findings confirmed that the Oteshad royal family are the ancestral owners of the land, which has been partially allocated to a construction company. The report urged the Lagos State Land Bureau and relevant government agencies to immediately cease further allocations of land that has already been excised.

The House, led by Speaker Mudashiru Obasa, unanimously adopted the committee's recommendations to prevent legal disputes and reputational damage to the state.
