CASER Calls for ICPC Probe into Surveyor-General's Office

The Citizens Advocacy for Social and Economic Rights (CASER) has filed a petition with the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) to investigate Surveyor Abdulganiyu Adebomehin, the Surveyor-General of the Federation, and other officials for alleged corruption. The petition, dated October 14, 2026, and acknowledged by the ICPC on October 16, was signed by CASER’s Executive Director, Frank Tietie.

The allegations stem from an incident on August 15, 2026, where military and police personnel, along with civilian agents, reportedly invaded properties in the Maiyegun Tourism Zone, Lekki Peninsula Scheme II. They allegedly removed a signboard belonging to BraveMatt Property and Investment Limited, installed shipping containers, and threatened workers.

CASER claims this operation used federal resources to benefit private interests, questioning the statutory authority of the Office of the Surveyor-General of the Federation (OSGOF) in such disputes. The organization has called for an investigation into the actions of the Surveyor-General and an audit of OSGOF’s records.
