Veteran Nigerian comedian, Ali Baba, whose real name is Atunyota Alleluya Akpobome, has reportedly been evicted from his Victoria Island property in Lagos State.
He was evicted alongside his company, XQZMOI TV, after a writ of possession signed by the Federal High Court on August 15, 2025.
The property was sold to Ali Baba for N220 million by the federal government in 2021, through the Assets Management Corporation of Nigeria, AMCON.

AMCON claimed to have sold out the property to recover the debts allegedly owed by Harold Expansion Industries Nigeria Limited.
However, Justice Ambrose Lewis-Allagoa in his ruling on July 31, 2025, dismissed AMCON’s case, revealing that the corporation failed to provide evidence of the alleged debt.
The court ordered that the property be returned to its original owner, and also imposed a N500 million fine in damages on AMCON.
eelive.ng gathered that the comedian’s liability in the case came as a result of the timing he bought the property.
Ali Baba, who was a tenant of the property’s original owner before their eviction by AMCON, reportedly bought the property while the case was still in court, despite an existing preservation order.
