_________________________ MY CONNECTION TO NO. 16 OSBORNE ROAD, IKOYI, LAGOS. The property in question happens to be one of them. I acquired the land & jointly develop it using a bank loan, I obtained about nine yrs ago. However all the flats have been sold to prospective buyers in order to pay back the loan.
