Ace Nigerian comedian, Atunyota Alleluya Akpobome, popularly known as Ali Baba, has been evicted from a Victoria Island property following a protracted legal dispute.
According to court documents, the eviction order was executed after a ruling in favour of the property’s landlord, who had been in a long-running tussle with the comedian over tenancy and ownership claims. Bailiffs, accompanied by security operatives, reportedly enforced the court’s directive, leading to Ali Baba’s removal from the premises.
While details of the case remain sketchy, sources close to the matter revealed that the dispute centred on alleged breaches of agreement between both parties.
Ali Baba, widely regarded as the pioneer of stand-up comedy in Nigeria, has yet to issue an official statement on the eviction. However, the development has already stirred conversations online, with fans expressing shock and calling for clarity on the circumstances surrounding the legal battle.
The case underscores the rising trend of property disputes in Lagos, especially in prime locations like Victoria Island, where tenancy agreements are often contested in lengthy court proceedings.
