An Ogun State High Court sitting in Sagamu has declared the Adubiagbe family as the rightful owner of the Atoyo Adubiagbe-Oga community, in the Sagamu Local Government Area of Ogun State.
The court, in its ruling, ordered the family to take possession of the over 500 houses in the area.
It was gathered that there had been a court case between the Adefowodu-Oyelarus and the Adubiagbes on who owns the Ogun community, covering about 67 hectares of land.
But, in his judgment, Justice Nasiru Agbelu, held that the Adefowodu-Oyelaru family could not prove ownership of the land based on the traditional evidence tendered, saying it had “unexplainable gaps.”

A management staff of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), has accused the agency of squandering N6.25billion on phantom palliatives against COVID-19 in 2020.
This is just as the Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions, issued final summon to the management of the commission to unfailingly appear before it on February 22 for explanations on the alleged palliatives’ mismanagement.
NDDC had under the recently sacked Professor Daniel Pondei-led Interim Management Committee ( IMC) claimed to have spent N6.25 billion on palliatives against COVID-19 last year across the nine oil producing States.
However, the Chairman of the agency’s COVID-19 Palliative Distribution Committee , Ambassador Sobomabo Jackrich , said not a dime was spent for such purpose by the then IMC of the Commission.

The Senate Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions, on Thursday, issued a fresh summon on the management staff of the Niger Delta Development Commission.
The top staff members are to appear before the Senate panel on February 22 to explain how they allegedly spent N6.25bn on COVID-19 palliative last year.
The Senate panel is acting on a petition, which alleged that the management staff of the agency spent the money on palliative which they could not account for.
The petition before the Senate panel claimed that the NDDC, under the recently sacked Prof. Daniel Pondei-led Interim Management Committee, spent N6.25bn on palliative across the nine oil-producing states.
