The transfer of Title Number Jombo 7/8 to Vikawu Trust was irregular and invalid because the claimant's signature was not witnessed as required by law, and there was a strong possibility of forgery. The legal process for transfer was not followed, and there was no evidence of consideration or consent from the claimant. Therefore, the registration in favour of Vikawu Trust is null and void, and the property should revert to joint ownership by the claimant and defendant.
