Sources said both parties had arrived at the deceased residence with mobile police officers to claim Osibona's assets - property, cash, luxury vehicles and other valuable items.

However, neighbours in the vicinity shut them up to avoid being caught up in the crisis.

The source said although the deceased did not die without a will, his family members were still out struggling over his assets.

The source said:

“There is big fighting going on. The wife had been mostly abroad."

"There is a will but once a man dies, there is a problem. Instead of them (the family) focusing on the collapsed building, they are looking at the property (on Mosley Road). They are waiting to gain access (to the apartment); they are still there.”

Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that Osibona, who is the chief executive officer of Fourscore Home Limited was among the many individuals trapped in the rubble of the collapsed 21-storey building.
