Lawyer Stan Alieke, based in Abuja, has reached out to the homeless community across Nigeria.
He encouraged individuals to consider occupying any vacant properties they encounter.
He explained that, according to legal principles, residing in a property for an extended period can confer ownership rights.
If a person takes up residence in an unclaimed building for a significant time without any challenges, they have the option to request official ownership of the property.
This legal concept is referred to as adverse possession.
