The Oloto Royal Family of Otto and Lagos Mainland has expressed concern over interlopers claiming to have an estate at the land behind National Stadium/ Tejuosho and offering the same for sale.
In a statement signed by the family, it warned the public to beware of these people, adding that the land in concern belonged to them.
The family advised people to be wary of such fraudulent claims, as the Oloto Royal Family has been on the land from time immemorial during which it has been exercising several acts of ownership and has alienated parts of the land to legitimate buyers while retaining a large chunk for future family development.
Chief Lamina Kareem Akinlolu, the Ojomo of Otto and Lagos Mainland while speaking on the fraudulent issue stated that they had been shown a billboard erected at the entrance to the land behind the National Stadium by Iyun Street, after Stadium Hotel, Surulere marketing non-existent flats.
Further, he revealed that they had seen video clips trending on the internet where a certain lady purporting to work for a certain company, who in turn claims to be acting for another company was inviting the general public to invest in the project.
Advising members of the public not to fall victim of fraudsters, he added that most of the persons who owned the lands have perfected their documents and have C of O, adding that the activities of Oloto Royal Family as it relates to sales to other buyers date back to 1922.
Chief Akinlolu, therefore, called on owners to take possession of their lands to avoid further encroachment, while stating that any person dealing with the imposters does so at his or her own risk.
