CFL raises alarm over ‘land title laundry’ in Lagos
原文原文 / Original TextA construction firm, CFL, has raised concerns over what it described as “land title laundry” in Lagos, following a disputed property at Victoria Island.
The company has given the Lagos State Land Registry a seven-day notice to address the disputed Governor’s Consent relating to the property.
The Group Managing Director of CFL, Engr. Lai Omotola, raised the concerns at a press conference in Lagos, where he called for greater scrutiny of land documents and transactions in the state.
According to him, the company purchased the property and commenced construction before another party appeared at the site with security personnel and claimed ownership based on a Governor’s Consent.
Omotola said CFL subsequently reviewed the documents associated with the property and contacted members of the family identified in the documents as an earlier owner.
Omotola said the company’s experience had prompted it to draw attention to what it termed “Land Title Laundry”, which he described as a process through which questions could arise over the authenticity and history of land documents.
He explained that a Certificate of Occupancy was different from a Governor’s Consent, noting that the latter relates to the government’s consent to a transaction between parties and does not, by itself, resolve possible defects in the underlying title.
According to him, “the state government after granting the consent will state clearly that this consent does not cure any defect in title.”
