Court has kicked the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) out of his Lagos State secretariat.
Gatekeepers News reports that a Lagos State Magistrate Court has ordered the eviction of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) from its Lagos State secretariat on Adekunle Fajuyi Way, Ikeja, over unpaid rent.
The case was brought before Chief Magistrate Adelaja I.O by the children of the owners of the property – the late Chief Duro Ogundiran.
Following an unresolved dispute over the rent debt, the siblings instituted the action against the Registered Trustees of the Peoples Democratic Party, Lagos State, and one other.
They approached Chief Magistrate Adelaja with an ex parte order seeking leave to enforce a February 18, 2021 judgment which, among others, awarded the sum of N10,467 million against the PDP.
The Court while granting the applicants their prayers, authorised the family to evict the party.
Chief Magistrate Adelaja held: “Pursuant to the motion ex parte dated 7th October 2021, seeking an order to force open the gate of 57, Adekunle Fajuyi, G.R.A, Ikeja, Lagos State, to execute the judgment of the court of 18th February 2021.
“That leave is hereby granted to the Deputy Sheriff of the Court to forthwith use reasonable force to open the gate to No. 57, Adekunle Fajuyi, G.R.A, Ikeja, Lagos in the presence of at least a member of the Nigerian Police Force.”
