N800m Land Suit: Court Orders Pastor Adefarasin, Church to Maintain Status Quo

By Correspondent

 Justice Adebisi Akinlade of a Lagos High Court sitting in Igbosere has renewed its order restraining Pastor Paul Adefarasin and his church, House on the Rock, from taking any further action concerning parcels of land whose ownership is disputed by a businessman, Gerald Chukwueke. The judge specifically directed parties to maintain the status quo which existed on March 15, 2016, when the defendants were served with the processes in the suit, pending the hearing of an interlocutory application filed by the claimants. Specifically, Chukwueke alongside four others had filed an N800m suit against the popular cleric for allegedly trespassing on their land in Ikate, Lekki, Lagos. The businessman further contended that the clergy and the church converted some of the lands to their church cathedral situated at Lekki Fourth Roundabout, Lagos. Prior to this time, Justice Akinlade sometime in March 17, 2016 restrained the defendants, their servants, agents or privies from demolishing or removing any structure whatsoever, be they temporary or permanent on the claimants’ premises located at plots 15, 16, 17 and 18 located at 188 Ikate, Lekki, Lagos. Justice Akinlade further restrained the defendants from commencing any development, construction, building or erecting any structure whether temporary or permanent in any manner whatsoever on the land.
