The state government, argues that the property which belongs to former Nigerian politician, Olusola Saraki, was originally designed to be used for the establishment of a public hospital, secretariat for civil servants in Kwara State and parking lot in the 1980s.
The late Saraki plotted the land to himself when he served as a federal lawmaker in the 1980s and used it to build a home for old people, who regularly visited his home for assistance.
Although a clinic was built on the land, it wasn’t completed because the land was fraudulently allotted to one Asa Investment for commercial.
After the state government demolished all the structure on the land, the former lawmaker, Bukola Saraki approached the court claiming rightful ownership while adding that there was a right of occupancy title issued on the land.
Both the state government and the Saraki family decided to give out of court settlement a chance during the last sitting, but have failed to reach an agreement and would revert to court.
Counsel to Asa Investment, AbdulAzeez Ibrahim, and the Attorney-General of Kwara State, Salmon Jawondo, clearly told the court that no agreement was reached while seeking that the leave of court gives them a date for the commencement of the case.
