Banana Island is an artificial paradise in Lagos, known for its billionaires, luxury estates, and exclusive lifestyle.
Chief Adebayo Adeleke, a visionary engineer, originally conceived the 'Lagoon City' which later became Banana Island.
After a legal battle, the Lagos State Government confiscated the project from Adeleke, with no compensation.
The Chagoury Group completed the development, introducing high-end infrastructure and private amenities.
Today, the Nigerian government technically owns the land, but private buyers and corporations hold leases and titles.
