The family of late Efunroye Tinubu has taken possession of a parcel of land where over 50 houses are erected, at Akobi Crescent, off Fashoro Lane in Surulere area of Lagos, after a legal tussle that lasted three years before the family got vindication in court. After the judgment of the State High Court delivered in 2013 which favoured the family, Colonel Oyedele did not file any appeal against the judgment within the stipulated time required by law. This development gave the family the mandate to take possession of the land and the over 50 houses erected on the land since the judgment was not challenged. I believe the testimony of DW1 and DW 2, which I find credible that they are members of the Tinubu Family and have remained in possession of same from time immemorial. It was on the basis of this judgement which had gone unchallenged, that the family took possession of the land and buildings on it.
