Alleged fraudulent property sale: Defendants choose out-of-court settlement

The defendants in an alleged fraudulent sale of land located at Wasimi, Maryland have decided to settle out of court following an enrolment order in the case granted by a Lagos High Court sitting in Ikeja.

A Lagos-based lawyer, Olajide Ajana had earlier dragged the defendants, one of whom is a Redeemed Christian Church of God pastor, Goke Aniyeloye, Stephen ibitoye, (Ajana’s client) and Lagos State government to court over the alleged land transaction.

Ibitoye is the first defendant in the suit marked ID/8990GCMW/2022, while Aniyeloye, the governor of Lagos State, Lagos State Attorney-General and The Director of Land Bureau, Lagos State were the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th defendants, respectively.

In a 46-paragraph Statement of Claim, Ajana stated that Ibitoye engaged his services in 2013, at a time the defendant was broke and couldn’t pay him and therefore opted to pay for the legal services rendered with some portions of the land equivalent to five acres and three plots.

According to the statement of claim, Ibitoye and Aniyeloye were selling the said property at Wasimi Maryland Lagos, including the portion assigned to the claimant despite the pendency of the Suit (ID/032 LM/2014) in respect of the same property which Ajana had filed on behalf of his client (Ibitoye).

Ajana further sought an order stating that any sale/transfer of the said five acres and three plots of land or any portion of the said land at Wasimi Maryland Lagos, which Ibitoye had assigned in lieu of the professional fees to the claimant to Aniyeloye or any persons is wrongful, illegal, null and void.

The defendants had written a letter dated July 19, 2022, and also filed a libel suit against Ajana after accusing him of “activating” a libellous publication where the defendants also claimed to have had no business with Ajana or the said land.

Ajana in his response dated July 25, 2022, said, “The publication is an excerpt from Statements of Claim in Suit No ID/8990GCMW/2022 filed and pending at the Ikeja division of Lagos State High Court in which your client, Aniyeloye is the 2nd defendant.

To further display the defendants’ readiness for an out-of-court settlement, Aniyeloye on October 19, 2022, in a signed letter headed ‘’FET, Favour Executive Transports’’, stated that he would be informing his lawyer to withdraw all suits filed against Ajana.

“This is to confirm that I, Pastor Goke Aniyeloye, the Chairman of FET Favour Executive Transports will instruct my brother who is a legal practitioner, T.O Ajayi to withdraw the suit filed against you (Olajide Ajana).

“When he writes the application for discontinuance of the case, I will forward same to you on or before Friday, 21st October 2022. I express a sincere apology for any hitch this suit might have caused you,” the letter read.

Ajana, in his response in a letter also dated October 19, 2022, confirmed he received copies of documents by Aniyeloye of (FET Favour Executive Transport) in respect of ibitoye and several pictures and videos to the effect that he has released the land belonging to Ibitoye at Wasimi Maryland Lagos back to him.

Augustine Eguavoen Did A Fine Job As Super Eagles Coach

By now it is no news to any Nigerian sports fan, that Augustin Eguavoen and his entire team have been relieved of their duties at the helm of affairs of the Nigerian National team. Most Nigerians are happy with this development, with some claiming that his immediate predecessor, Gernot Rohr would have delivered better results. However, a simple analysis of events will clearly demonstrate that Eguavoen did a fine enough job given the circumstances. I will attempt to undertake this analysis by demonstrating, first that Eguavoen has a better record than one might realize, and secondly by comparing the performance of his Super Eagles with that of Afcon winners, Senegal, and runners-up Egypt. When Gernot Rohr was sacked a few weeks to the Afcon, knowledgeable sportspersons decried the move, citing the difficulty any new coach would face in setting up the team to play to his own patterns. In analyzing Eguavoen, therefore, it must first be understood that the new boss was operating unde...

THE HISTORY OF CORPORATE IDENTITY

THE HISTORY OF CORPORATE IDENTITY In 1996, Graphic Design Legend Paul Rand declared “the greatest living graphic designer”—it was yet another ‘feather in the cap’ for him, and one of many during a long and colorful career that would make any present day designer envious. But more so when the acclamation comes from a visionary like Steve Jobs. In fact, it was Paul Rand’s dedication to treating design as a function of business that helped Steve Jobs’ Apple to become the design-leading powerhouse that it is today. In 1986, Rand was hired to create a logo for Jobs, reportedly for a fee of $100,000. But long before that—back in the 1950s—he had already begun to pave the way for design systems, and the notion of corporate identity. Many consider Rand to be the father of modern graphic design—the man who introduced the idea that commercial art could, and should, have both a strong visual appeal and an important functional role in the world of mo...
