Remedies under the Land Use Act
"It is a mis-statement of law to say that the Land Use Act abolished the remedies or reliefs of forfeiture and injunction. Forfeiture is available whenever a tenant disputes the title the remedies or reliefs of forfeiture and injunction. Forfeiture is available whenever a tenant disputes the title of the overlord or landlord or alienates without the landlord's consent the whole or part of the parcel of land let out to him by the landlord under customary law."PER BELLO, C.J.N. (P. 60, paras. C-E) GARUBA ABIOYE & ORS. V. SA'ADU YAKUBU & ORS(1991) LPELR-43(SC)
