Court Appoints Receiver for Abacha's Disputed Lagos Property
On September 29, 2026, Justice Ambrose Lewis-Allagoa of a Lagos court appointed a receiver to manage a disputed property located at No. 68 Molade Okoya Thomas Street, Victoria Island, following a lawsuit filed by Maryam Sani Abacha against Levitikal Realties & Construction Limited, associated with Samuel Ajose. The property, covered by a certificate of occupancy dated July 4, 1988, is subject to a joint venture agreement for a high-rise development, which was terminated by the landowner due to alleged breaches by Levitikal Realties.
The court's order restrains Levitikal and its representatives from selling or encumbering the property and appoints the Deputy Chief Registrar of the Federal High Court or a reputable firm to take control of the property until the case is resolved. The EFCC had previously sealed the property amid an unrelated investigation.
The matter is scheduled for adjournment on November 9, 2026.
