The family stated that no customary tenant has the legal right to sell or transfer any part of the land without the express consent and approval of the family.
The Agura Family also cautioned prospective buyers to beware of individuals or groups it described as “disgruntled and ignorant customary tenants or families” who are attempting to contest the family’s ownership rights.
