Renowned Nigerian comedian and actor, Atunyota Alleluya Akpobome, popularly known as Ali Baba, has reportedly been evicted from a property in Victoria Island, Lagos, after a prolonged legal dispute. The eviction, which took place earlier this week, was carried out under the directive of a Lagos High Court order following claims of unresolved ownership tussles surrounding the building. Eyewitnesses described how officials supervised the process as the entertainer’s belongings were removed from the premises, drawing attention from passersby and sparking conversations across social media.

While details of the dispute remain sketchy, sources close to the matter suggest that the property in question had been subject to legal contention for years, with conflicting claims over rightful ownership. The eviction marks a rare public setback for Ali Baba, who is widely celebrated as the pioneer of stand-up comedy in Nigeria and a respected figure in the entertainment industry. Fans and industry colleagues have expressed shock over the development, with many urging caution against speculation until the comedian personally addresses the issue.

The incident has once again brought to light the sensitive nature of property disputes in Lagos, a city where land and real estate remain high-stakes investments often tangled in legal complexities. For many, the eviction also raises broader concerns about how even prominent figures are not immune to the enforcement of court judgments when it comes to property ownership disputes.

As of now, Ali Baba has yet to release an official statement addressing the eviction, leaving the public eagerly waiting to hear his side of the story.
