A dispute over the estate of former governor of Oyo State, Adebayo Alao-Akala, has revealed an extensive list of properties linked to the late politician.
The development, according to reports, follows proceedings at an Oyo State High Court, where Oluwatoyin Alao Aderinto, the deceased’s first daughter, is challenging the administration of the estate.
The list shows that the late politician owned multiple assets, including properties in Lagos, Abuja, Ibadan, United Kingdom, United States, and a five-star hotel in Ghana.
Reports say Aderinto approached the court seeking intervention over the handling of the estate.
Joined as defendants in the case are Oluwakemi Alao-Akala, wife of the deceased, and Olamide Alabi, daughter of the deceased, who are identified as executors and administrators of the estate.
Aderinto told the court that she has both legal and equitable interests in the estate as the deceased’s first daughter.
She alleged that some assets had already been sold without her knowledge or consent, and that moves were ongoing to dispose of other properties or enter joint venture arrangements involving the estate.
Aderinto argued that urgent intervention was necessary to prevent further transactions that could undermine her interest.
She added that failure to grant the injunction could result in irreversible loss.
Alao-Akala died in Ogbomoso on January 12, 2022, at the age of 71. Since his passing, a dispute has continued over the administration and distribution of his estate.
