Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has commissioned a new warehouse in Ikorodu, designed to store properties involved in legal disputes across Lagos State—particularly those still under judicial review or awaiting final decisions.
Named the Deputy Sheriff Warehouse, the facility aims to provide secure storage for items linked to ongoing court cases, addressing previous challenges where such properties were reportedly mishandled or poorly documented.
In his address, Governor Sanwo-Olu stated that the project was conceived to support the proper handling of judicial exhibits and contested assets. He noted that the absence of a dedicated storage center had contributed to logistical complications in legal proceedings.
“With this new warehouse, these assets will be securely stored, carefully tracked, and managed in a way that preserves their integrity until a court delivers its final judgment,” he said.
The structure is equipped with surveillance systems, digital recordkeeping tools, and restricted-access controls, with entry permitted only to authorized personnel. The facility is expected to ease the burden on court staff, prevent delays in legal processes, and promote a more efficient and organized judicial system.
Governor Sanwo-Olu emphasized that the initiative aligns with the state’s broader agenda to uphold accountability and foster public confidence in the legal system.
“We are putting in place structures that reflect our values—clarity, order, and a firm commitment to the rule of law,” he added.
The warehouse is now operational and will serve as the central hub for storing disputed properties across courts in the state.
