Amid the contention over the ownership of the land, the Federal government accused the Lagos State Government of delaying the enforcement of the February 10, 2012, judgment in suit no. SC/112/2002.

The Lagos State Government, on Friday, announced its return to the Supreme Court despite the court's initial ruling on the occupation of Magodo Estate.Meanwhile, the South-West Governors had condemned the Federal Government after a Chief Superintendent of Police told Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu that officers deployed to Magodo would not leave.

This had attracted backlash for the AGF who stated that his office “belongs to the Executive arm of the Government, while the Supreme Court belongs to the Judiciary.” He recalled that the verdict was delivered in 2012, long before the start of the Buhari administration. The AGF advised the governors to “unravel” what’s preventing the Lagos government from enforcing the order “despite attempts from 2012- 2015 and so-called settlement initiative started in 2016.” He said following Sanwo-Olu’s intervention, Lagos officials and representatives of the Shangisha Landlords Association held a series of meetings.
