Peter Obi, former governor of Anambra State, has criticized Nigeria for becoming a lawless state following the demolition of a property in Lagos owned by his brother, which he claims was carried out without a court order. Obi stated that the property, owned by his brother Oluwalogbon for over 15 years, was demolished without due legal process, raising concerns about the treatment of local investors and the potential impact on foreign investment. Court documents and the Certificate of Occupancy name Oluwalogbon as the legitimate owner of the Lagos property. The Lagos State Government has denied responsibility for the demolition and has ordered an investigation into the incident. Separately, there are ongoing controversies involving land and property issues in Nigeria, including allegations against Wike’s Chief Security Officer for using a forged court order to detain a Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA) employee over leaked land allocations, and accusations of land fraud involving associates of the Inspector General of Police. Additionally, the Department of State Services (DSS) has filed terrorism charges against a Mumuye youth leader detained for four years without trial, prompting the House of Representatives to summon security agencies over the prolonged detention. The DSS also re-arrested a federal workers’ leader shortly after his release amid planned protests. Other legal cases include the remand of a couple in Kaduna State for alleged fraud and the release of an FCDA staff member after illegal detention ordered by the FCT Minister.
