of National Land Code (Revised - 2020)
(1)
Subject to subsection (2), a Registrar’s caveat may be entered in respect of any land wherever such appears to the
Registrar to be necessary or desirable—
(a)
for the prevention of fraud or improper dealing; or
(b)
for protecting the interests of—
(i)
the Federation or the State Authority, or
(ii)
any person who is in his opinion under the disability of minority, mental disorder or unsoundness of mind, or is shown to his satisfaction to be absent from the Federation; or
(ba) for securing that the land will be available to satisfy the whole or part of any debt due to the Federation or the State Authority, whether such debt is secured or unsecured and whether or not judgment thereon has been obtained; or
(c)
by reason of some error appearing to him to have been made in the register or issue document of title to the land or any other instrument relating thereto.
(2)
Knowledge by the Registrar of the fact that any land or interest therein has been acquired, or is to be held, by any person or body in a fiduciary capacity shall not of itself constitute a ground for entering a Registrar’s caveat in respect of that land.
