The Lagos State Chief Judge, Justice Kazeem Olanrewaju Alogba has been petitioned to intervene and investigate the alleged discrepancies in the sales by auction of a Toyota Corolla on December 19, 2021 by the Deputy Sheriff of the court.
According to her, the car was neither vandalised nor destroyed at the court premises, where it was parked during the EndSARS protest, but remained intact. “I witnessed the public auction together with others,” she insisted. She claimed that after the sales, the Deputy Sheriff, in a letter informed her that, “a Toyota Corolla with Reg. No. BDG 602 EC was sold by public auction to the highest bidder in the sum of N525, 000. The only amount recoverable by the Claimant/Judgment Creditor stands at N525, 000 less the government deductions.”
“It is pertinent to know my lord that I have waited for about three months, since I submitted my petition and I am yet to be contacted or informed of any development in respect of the petition, copy of which is hereby attached for your Lordship’s quick reference and necessary action.
