What is the stolen island in Nigeria?

The "stolen island" in Nigeria, previously known as Lagoon City, is now known as Banana Island. This island’s story is centered around a tragic and corrupt series of events involving Remi Adeleke's father. His father invested significantly in developing Lagoon City with a vision for it to become a business hub, signing deals with international companies and spending millions on its development.

However, due to political and financial interests, influential figures, including politicians and military generals, orchestrated to take control of the island. Following these conflicts and the relentless legal battle pursued by his family, Remi Adeleke's father was poisoned, leading to his death, to prevent him from fighting for the island in court. Subsequently, all legal documents and evidence related to the island were destroyed in a courthouse fire attributed to protesters, but it seemed targeted specifically at the documents related to this case.

Today, Banana Island is one of the most opulent areas in Nigeria, housing the wealthiest individuals rather than serving its original business-oriented purpose 1 2 3.
