In a statement yesterday, she said: “I am not the owner of the property on the said location and neither do I have any link whatsoever with the property.

“The publication was done maliciously and in bad taste; the authors could have simply contacted me or The Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development to confirm the veracity of the claim that I am the owner of the building before going ahead to publish it.”

She condemned the publications for not getting its facts right, saying: “It is indeed a smack of journalistic laziness that the ownership of a building could be foisted on me simply because its owner named it ‘Adejoke Court’ as if I am the only Adejoke in the world.”

Aside publishing the disclaimer, Mrs Orelope-Adefulire said that the “false publication” had caused her “undue embarrassment”, adding that she would be taking legal actions.

However, the Lagos State Development and Property Corporation (LSDPC) said the government appealed that judgment and won.

The corporation, in a statement, said “Representatives of Pa Fashina sought reliefs from the Federal High Court that the claim of the LSDPC was unconstitutional. Further to the above, the LSDPC sought a declaration at the Court of Appeal, Lagos in Suit No. CA/L/16/09 between LSDPC V Mr. Kayode Fashina & 2 Ors on whether the trial court was right when it held that Pa Fashina’s right against compulsory acquisition of the land was violated.

“On the 27th Day of March 2015, their Lordships, Chinwe Eugenia lyizoba, Tijani Abubakar and Abimbola Adegbenro of the Court of Appeal Lagos, in a lead judgement delivered by Tijani Abubakar (JCA) delivered as follows:

“It is certain this court found that the lower court acted in excess of its jurisdiction by hearing Applicants (Pa Fashina) application without jurisdiction. On this ground alone this appeal is bound to succeed, it therefore succeeds. The decision of the lower court delivered on the 22nd day of October 2008 is hereby set aside, and the Applicants application for enforcement of Fundamental Rights before the lower court is accordingly struck out.”
