Justice A.L. Ladiran of the Oyo State High Court has summoned the Lagelu West Local Council Development Authority and other defendants to appear before it for disobeying an order restraining it from the demolition of shops at Iwo road area of the state.
The claimants, Mrs Adeniran Alade and mrs Omosalewa Alade alongside 18 others, had through their legal representative, Yomi Alliyu, (SAN), filed a notice of motion ex-parte in suit no 1/252/2025, seeking an order of court, restraining the Lagelu West Local Council Development Authority, Mrs M.F. Oloyede, the Executive Governor, Oyo state and Commissioner of Police from carrying out demolition exercise as planned.
Alliyu (SAN) has sought the order of the court directing the Registrar to issue Form 48 endorsed with the enrollment Order of Interim Injunction dated 28th February, 2025 against the second defendant and other principal officers.
He submitted that the first defendant had been duly served with the enrollment of interim order of injunction and in disobedience of the said order of interim injunction carried out their threat to demolish the shops built by the claimants.
Ruling on the ex-parte motion, Justice Ladiran ordered to cause Form 48 endorsed with the enrollment of the order of interim injunction issued by the Court to be served on the first and second defendants and their principal officers listed on the motion ex-parte.
“In the meantime, however, the life of the interim order ex parte earlier issued by this Court is further extended to remain extant till the next date of adjournment when the motion on notice for an order of interlocutory injunction will be coming up for hearing,” the court held.
The case has been adjourned till March 24, 2025 for further hearing.
