So I took up this challenge, and found (all open-source information, only requiring a bit of digging and following loose and un-loose ends) a family story that somewhere along the line tangentially involves Russia’s MVD (a KGB sister agency) and the CIA.

The famous, sprawling Ajao Estate in Lagos—and also Papa Ajao— are named after a certain Chief Joseph Adediran (JA) Ajao, a native of Aawe town in present-day Oyo State, who became a successful import-export businessman in Lagos. He was born in 1900 and died in the early 60s.
Chief JA Ajao was one of the biggest landowners in Lagos. All of the land that’s now Ajao Estate was owned by him. And plenty other land as well. If you Google his name you’ll find a number of land-related Court cases from the 60s and 70s, involving his estate.
