Abstract: 

The judgment of the Supreme Court in Okoiko v. Esedalue brings into prominence once again the question of accountability in the customary law relating to pledge of land. In that case Elias, C.J.N., made the following propositions which call for comment: (1) A pledgee who engages in commercial exploitation of pledged land is liable to account for his use of pledged land.
