Option open to court where evidence of traditional history relied on by a party are inconclusive.

Where evidence of traditional history relied on by a party to claim of title to land are inconclusive, that will not automatically disentitle the plaintiff to the reliefs sought. Rather, in order for the court to resolve the issue of ownership of or title to land, resort will be had to acts of ownership extending over a sufficient length of time, numerous and positive enough to properly infer that the plaintiff is the exclusive owner. [Arum v. Nwobodo (2013) 10 NWLR (Pt. 1362) 374 referred to.] (P. 349, paras. D-F)

See , Amadi v. Orlu (2023) 14 NWLR (Pt. 1904) 319 SC
