PW3 was led in evidence. Mrs. Christiana Adetola
Makanjuola is the Allottee of the plot of land covered
by Exhibit “G”. She said she knows the 1st Defendant
and has met him twice before meeting him in court. She
said she and her husband Mr. Makanjuola wanted to
develop the said plot of land into a housing Estate but
because of lack of money they could not. She said her
husband introduced 1st Defendant as a person who said
he will develop the land into a housing estate, deduct
expenses and cost of land and then share the profit after
selling the houses. She said they entered into an
agreement and signed Memorandum Of Understanding
(i.e Exhibit “F”).
PW3 also stated in her evidence that they discovered
that contrary to the Memorandum Of Understanding
(Exhibit “F”) signed, 1st Defendant had sold portions of
the land to different individuals without informing them
or seeking their consent and converted the proceeds of
sale.
