COURT HALTS DEMOLITION OF FORMER OGUN STATE GOVERNOR’S PROPERTIES
A High Court in Sagamu, Ogun State, has granted an interim injunction restraining the state government and its agents from demolishing or interfering with properties belonging to former Ogun State Governor Gbenga Daniel and his wife, Yeye Olufunke Daniel.
The ex parte order, issued by Justice O.S. Oloyede, followed an affidavit of urgency filed by the couple through their counsel, Adeyinka Kotoye (SAN), in three separate suits marked HCS/371/2025, HCS/373/2025, and HCS/372/2025.
The contested properties include Daniel’s private residence, the Asoludero Court, situated within the Government Reservation Area (GRA) in Sagamu; a property owned by Mrs. Daniel; and the Conference Hotel and its annex. Daniel maintains that Asoludero Court holds a valid Certificate of Occupancy dated January 20, 2010.
Justice Oloyede said the court acted swiftly after reviewing the affidavits to prevent potential damage while the cases are ongoing. The matter has been adjourned to August 19, 2025, for a hearing on the application for an interlocutory injunction.
The development follows the quit and demolition notices for Daniel’s residence and hotels issued by the Ogun State government, citing a “statutory land audit.”
