The office of the Attorney General of Lagos State has filed criminal charges against two men who allegedly sold no fewer than 26 landed properties under the receivership of the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria.
The defendants – Dr. Olawunmi Awosedo and Olamidayo Olukoga – were charged before the Special Offences Court of Lagos State.

The DPP, in the 26 charges, claimed that Awosedo and Olukoga “had no power to sell the properties, not being directors of Knight Rook Ltd.”

According to the prosecution, the properties under AMCON’s receivership, which the defendants allegedly sold, included Block O, Plot 12A Victoria Park Estate, Igbokushu, Lekki Penninsula, Lagos.
The defendants were accused of selling the property to one Mr. and Mrs. Nduka and Chinelo Dike.
