A Lagos High Court judge, Justice Musilu Ope-Agbe, had his land revoked by the military administration of Brigadier-General Olagunsoye Oyinlola (rtd) in 2001. The reason for the revocation was not made clear in the text. However, a memorandum submitted to a judicial panel of inquiry revealed that the military administration was uncomfortable with a ruling made by Justice Ope-Agbe and accused him of being an "aggrieved person." The panel also heard that the civilian Governor of Lagos State, Senator Ahmed Bola Tinubu, allocated a plot of land to Justice Ope-Agbe only recently, after he had been requesting this for over five years.
