Court restrains Ogun govt from demolishing Gbenga Daniel’s properties

The Ogun State High Court sitting in Sagamu, on Tuesday, restrained the Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, and other agencies of government from tampering with the private residence of former Governor Gbenga Daniel, and his hotel facilities in Sagamu, in the interim.

Daniel, through his lawyer, A.M Kotoye SAN, filed motion of exparte order restraining the defendants, Abiodun; the Attorney General of Ogun State; Ogun State Planning and Development Permit Authority and the Ogun State Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development in three different separate suits from tampering with the Asoludero Court; and a property belonging to Daniel’s wife, in Sagamu, and Conference Hotel and Blue Chapel Limited.

The former governor and his wife, who were applicants in a Suit No. HCS/371/2025; HCS/373/2025 and HCS/372/2025 respectively, sought the order of the court restraining the defendants and their agents, allies from demolishing or tampering with Asoludero Court situated on Block 1,Plots 7&8 of Block XXXV111 Plot 1&12, within the amended part of the Government Reservation Area; Daniel’s wife property and Conference Hotel, Sagamu.

Daniel in the Suit claimed that the property has a Certificate of Occupancy with No.LUD3/LR2693, dated 20th January, 2010.

The court further restrained the defendants from trespassing or in any way disturbing the applicants from enjoying the quiet possession of the property.

Counsel to the applicants, Adeyinka Kotoye SAN, moved the motion exparte dated 11th of August and filed on the 11th of August before the Court.

In the ruling, Justice O.S Oloyede, said the Court needed to take immediate action on the Suits having read all the affidavits in support and affidavits of urgency to intervene in the cases.

He, therefore, issued an exparte interim order restraining the defendants and other agents from tampering any of the properties.
