If Lagos govt will do the right thing, many people will be homeless – BBNaija’s Leo Dasilva

Leo Babarinde Akinola Dasilva, a former Big Brother Naija contestant and business magnate, has expressed concerns that a significant number of residents in Ajah, Lagos, could be left homeless if the government reclaims the land.

During an episode of The Honest Bunch podcast, which was co-hosted by actor Nedu, Leo stated that the state government had already purchased the land. He cautioned individuals against purchasing properties in Ajah, citing that it was owned by the government.

He said, “Ajah is a resettlement scheme. It’s already sold. It’s government-owned. I have documents. My father owns five thousand square meters whenever it’s ready to be allocated. He bought it in 1993.

“So, it has not even yet been allocated. Whenever we have a governor or government that is ready to go through that stress of allocating those properties, most of the people there are going to be homeless.

“Before you buy a property in that area, I will advise that you use your surveyor to find out. They buy a house N100m in that place, they go to Alausa, they tell them everything is fine. But the day that the government wants to do the right thing and allocate those properties to the people that rightfully own it…It happened in Magodo na. And what did they tell them? Government properties.”
