The said judgements were enforced on 8th day of November 2019 by Law Enforcement Officers of the High court of Justice of Ibadan in the presence of police officers from police headquarters, Eleyele Ibadan.
“Our clients inform us further that few days after the enforcement, One Alhaji Akeem Muraina Oniola together with his cohorts tree passed on our clients land and started removing the signboards erected by the court. Our clients informed us that they reported to the police but no action was taken.”
