Court stops Ogun govt from demolishing Gbenga Daniel’s properties

A high court sitting in the Sagamu Judicial Division of Ogun State has issued an interim order restraining the Ogun State Government and its agents from demolishing or tampering with properties belonging to a former governor of the state, Gbenga Daniel.

The order, granted ex parte, followed an affidavit of urgency filed by Daniel and his wife, Olufunke.

In suit number HCS/371/2025, the court said it was satisfied that immediate intervention was necessary to protect the property pending further hearing.

In his ruling, Justice O.S. Oloyede barred the defendants, their allies, proxies, assigns, cronies, and any persons acting on their behalf from carrying out any demolition, enforcing the quit notice issued on August 8, 2025, or otherwise interfering with the claimants’ possession of the properties.

The court also restrained the defendants from any form of trespass or disturbance of the claimants’ quiet possession until the hearing and determination of the substantive motion on notice.

The matter was adjourned to August 19, 2025, for the hearing of the application for an interlocutory injunction.
