In a bid to resolve the protracted land dispute at Egbin community in Ikorodu area of the state, the Lagos State House of Assembly adopted the recommendations of the Committee on Judiciary, Human Rights, Public Petitions and LASIEC on a petition titled ‘Petition against his royal majesty Oba Aderiyomi Akeem Oyebo for unlawful trespass on Prince Yussuf Obateru Family Land’.

The resolution was reached at the plenary session, which was presided over by the Speaker, Dr. Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa, on Tuesday.
