A Lagos State High Court has ordered all parties to maintain the status quo in a land dispute between Advance Lincon Limited and the Lagos State Government over a property in Lekki Peninsula Scheme II.
Justice B.O. Kalaro gave the order on March 10, 2026, at Court 53, J.I.C. Taylor Courthouse in Igbosere, after hearing a request filed by Advance Lincon Limited.
The case, marked LD/5991LM/2026, includes the Lagos State Government, the Attorney General, the Land Use and Allocation Committee, the Land Bureau, and Lincoln Advanced Radiology Service Limited as defendants.
The company asked the court to stop the defendants and their agents from entering, selling, leasing, or dealing with the land in any way.
The land measures 3,913.359 square metres and has a Certificate of Occupancy dated April 11, 2014.
It is described as Plot Advance Lincon Limited, Block 69H, Lekki Peninsula Scheme II, and is registered with the Lagos State Lands Registry.
The claimant also asked the court to stop any plans to sell or transfer the land to anyone else until the case is properly heard.
The request was supported by a statement from Wale Arowosaye, a litigation officer based in Ikoyi, Lagos.
The claimant’s lawyer, Akinlabi Apara, spoke in court, while none of the defendants had legal representation at the hearing.
After reviewing the request, the judge ordered that nothing should change on the land until the next stage of the case.
The court also directed the claimant to complete the required Pre-Action steps within seven days and share them with the defendants.
Justice Kalaro further ordered that all court documents be served on the defendants.
The case was then postponed to April 17, 2026, for an update on compliance with the court’s order.
