Lawyer petitions IGP to investigate firm, two individuals for forging Supreme Court judgment
A human rights lawyer, Gabriel Giwa-Amu, has asked the Inspector-General of Police, Usman Baba, to investigate an investment company for forging a Supreme Court judgment used in taking illegal possession of an estate in Lagos.
In his petition, Mr Giwa-Amu accused the investment company and two individuals for allegedly forging a Supreme Court judgement of July 14, 2020 in Suit No. SC/48/1992 to execute the illegal possession.
Mr Giwa-Amu said his client, Rockston Shelter Company Ltd., accused the suspects of forgery and illegally entering the property located at Olopameta Community, Hopeville Estate Waterfront, Sangotedo, Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos.
The lawyer said the suspects came to the premises with a Sheriff or Bailiff and pasted notice, signboard and inscription on the walls of the estate, alleging that the Supreme Court gave judgement which entitled them to take possession of the estate.
“No such judgement exists and what was shown by the suspects is a forgery as our application to the Supreme Court for certified true copy of the said judgement reveals.
“Upon our further search, we discovered the said forged judgement related to and concerns 19, Agege Motor Road, Idi-Oro, Mushin Lagos and not Olopameta Community, Hopeville Estate Waterfront Sangotedo Ibeju-Lekki.
“The name mentioned in the SC/48/1992 is one Mr Akingbehin Tinubu and not Late Madam Iyalide Efunroye Tinubu whose estate the suspects now impersonate and purported to act on behalf,” he said.
Mr Giwa-Amu, therefore, urged the IGP to use his good office to cause a detailed investigation of the matter with a view to bring the suspects to justice.
