Justice B.O. Kalaro Orders Status Quo in Lekki Land Dispute Involving Advance Lincon Ltd, Lagos Govt
The High Court of Lagos State has directed all parties to maintain the status quo in a land dispute involving Advance Lincon Limited, the Lagos State Government, and other defendants over a property in Lekki Peninsula Scheme II.
Justice B.O. Kalaro gave the order while presiding at Court 53, J.I.C. Taylor Courthouse, Igbosere, on March 10, 2026, after listening to an Originating Motion Ex-Parte brought by Advance Lincon Limited.
The case, filed as LD/5991LM/2026, has the Lagos State Government, the Attorney General of Lagos State, the Land Use and Allocation Committee, the Land Bureau of the Ministry of Lands, and Lincoln Advanced Radiology Service Limited listed as defendants.
Court documents show that the claimant is seeking an interim injunction to stop the defendants and their representatives from entering, selling, leasing, or taking any action that could affect the ownership of the disputed land.
The property in question measures about 3,913.359 square metres and is backed by a Certificate of Occupancy issued on April 11, 2014.
It is identified as Plot Advance Lincon Limited, Block 69H, Lekki Peninsula Scheme II, and is recorded at the Lagos State Lands Registry.
The claimant also asked the court to prevent any move to transfer or sell the land to third parties until the Pre-Action Protocol process is completed and the substantive case is decided.
The court considered an affidavit sworn to by Wale Arowosaye, a litigation officer based in Ikoyi, along with arguments presented by the claimant’s lawyer, Akinlabi Apara.
There was no legal representation for the defendants when the matter was heard.
In its ruling, the court ordered that all parties must keep things as they are on the land while the Pre-Action Protocol is being followed.
The court also directed the claimant to complete and serve the Pre-Action Protocol documents within seven days of the ruling.
It further ordered that the Motion on Notice for injunction, along with the court’s directive, must be served on all defendants.
Justice Kalaro adjourned the case to April 17, 2026, for an update on compliance with the court’s orders.
