Firms, others battle over Efunroye Tinubu estate’s power of attorney

The rights to the Power of Attorney over the estate of the late madam Efunroye Tinubu has resulted in bickering between two firms and their promoters in Lagos.
 
The Guardian learnt that parties, which include Adamakin and Works Limited and its promoter, Mr. Afolabi Adamakin in one hand and Lagoon Park Global Resources, Mansfield Real Estate Company, Integrated Service Limited in the other hand, individuals like  Mr. Onyebuchi Opara Ugo, Mr, Timothy Ogbonna, Mr. Taiwo Oyewunmi,  Mr. Akeem Osuolade (a.k.a) Olowobusobuso, Mr. Temilola David Adesanya and Alfa Ibrahim Mojeed are also laying claims over the legal power to manage the estate.
 
According to investigations, the controversy has thrown prospective buyers and landowners overboard as rumours emanate that the earlier power of attorney given to Adamakin and Works Limited has been revoked.

This also followed claims by the trustee for Oloto Family that Alaka land does not belong to Madam Efunroye Tinubu Family.
  
But the family of late Madam Iyalode Efunroye Tinubu has doused the tension, reaffirming the appointment of Mr. Afolabi Adamakin of Adamakin and Works Limited as the bonafide and only agent given the Power of Attorney over the Estate of the late madam Efunroye Tinubu.
 
The two branches, the Lumosa Family and Sobowale Family comprising the late Madam Iyalode Efunroye Tinubu Family disclosed this at a joint meeting held last week at Lumosa’s Compound, Oke-Ido Gbagura Abeokuta.

According to Bakare, the family also condemned the signing by the trustee for Oloto Family that Alaka land does not belong to Madam Efunroye Tinubu Family.

“It has come to our notice that some unscrupulous people have been circulating rumour around Lagos State and its environs that the Power of Attorney donated to Adamakin and Works Limited has been revoked by the family.

“Those people as the entire family is concerned were doing this in order to successfully carry out their dubious act.

“We are also stating categorically that the family does not and will never give Power of Attorney to neither Lagoon Park Global Resources,  Mansfield Real Estate Company, Integrated Service Limited,  Mr. Onyebuchi Opara Ugo, Mr, Timothy Ogbonna, Mr. Taiwo Oyewunmi, Mr. Akeem Osuolade (a.k.a) Olowobusobuso, Mr. Temilola David Adesanya and Alfa Ibrahim Mojeed.
“Therefore, the Power of Attorney given to Adamakin and Works Limited by the Legal/Administrator of the Family Estate and Properties is still intact and unrevokable. We are appealing to the general public to please stay away from these people because they have no legal right to represent or operate in any capacity on behalf of Madam Efunroye Tinubu family.

“The family then jointly agreed that it is only Afolabi Adamakin of ‘Adamakin and Works Limited’ that is the Bonafide Attorney of the Family. The family also agreed on the inclusion of more people to be members of the Trustee, saying that this will make their work transparent.

“This is to also let the public know that Lagoon Park Global Resources, Mansfield Real Estate Company, Femab Properties Limited, Integrated Service Limited,  Mr. Onyebuchi Opara Ugo, Mr, Timothy Ogbonna, Mr. Taiwo Oyewunmi,  Mr. Akeem Osuolade (a.k.a) Olowobusobuso, Mr. Temilola David Adesanya and Alfa Ibrahim Mojeed, Aboki Bada Family,  Oloto Royal Family, Olaleye Family,  Alaka Family,  Tomori Williams Family and others trying to sell or develop parts of the land behind the National Stadium/Alaka/Iponri are doing so at their own risk; whoever trying to engage in any transaction with any person(s), or group, or company mentioned are doing such at utmost risk,”, the family stated.
