A fresh twist has emerged in the ongoing Lekki land dispute, as the Lagos State Ministry of Justice has directed the police to conduct further investigations into allegations of forgery and willful property damage leveled against a real estate developer, Alex Ochonogor, and his lawyer, Ademola Owolabi.
The directive follows a second police report signed by Deputy Commissioner of Police Mohammed Dahiru, which cleared Ochonogor and Owolabi of any wrongdoing.
In a letter dated August 22, 2025, and signed by the Director of Public Prosecutions, Adeshola Adekunle-Bello, the Ministry instructed the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) Annex in Ikoyi to reopen the case, interrogate additional witnesses, and re-evaluate critical documents.
