The Lagos State Government on Friday said it had approached the Supreme Court to seek clarifications on a 2012 judgement regarding land ownership in the Magodo area of the state. The Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Gbenga Omotosho, in a statement, said the Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu administration took the decision because judgment creditors failed to reach a consensus on the control of their association. The statement was titled, ‘Update on settlement of Supreme Court judgement on Shangisha/Magodo’. It read, “Following the intervention of Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, officials of the State Government and representatives of the Shangisha Landlords Association (the judgment creditors) held a series of meetings at which both parties explored the possibility of complying with the judgment of the Supreme Court. The Judgment Creditors have been served with the application.
