He added that the community equally got a boundary number from the Ogun State Magistrate Court in 2022 on the said land against the Ogunleye family.
The monarch added that another judgement was delivered by the Ogun State High Court, Abeokuta, on April 20, 2015, in favour of the Agbeje Family, reaffirming its ownership of the land.
