Police authorities in the land, including; the Inspector General of
Police (IGP), Chairman, Police Service Commission (PSC), Minister of
Interior and host of others, by urging them to caution the said erring
Police officers against the contempt of the Court of competent
jurisdiction.
The group maintained that the call became necessary because of the way
and manner the Police officers dabbled into the disputed land matters
which have been before the Court of competent jurisdiction to
adjudicate upon, alleging the Police officers of abuse of office,
insubordination, extortion, corrupt practices, threat to life of law
abiding Nigerians and violation of fundamental human rights of High
Chief Abibullahi Lawal, the Baale Ikola Town.
It maintained that the alleged erring Police officers; Corporal Mariam

disputed Land matter with a suit No:-.TEMP/42905/2019 handling by
Barrister Olarewaju Akinbo with phone number:-08162679719.
In a related development, it alleged Inspector Tunde Idris with
phone:- +234 8033858021, and Divisional Police Officer(DPO) of Imota
Police station, Supol Maku Aderemi(SP) with Phone Number:-
+2348034661157, for intimidating ,harassment and illegal arrest and
unlawful detention of one Mr. Joel and Mr. Shittu Dairo over trump-up
charge in conniving with Land grabbers in the area by illegally
terrorizing the Baale of the Araromi Town, High Chief Ismaila Abioye
over disputed land property.
These allegations were contained in 2-in-1 Petition dated
Monday 25th March, 2019 and signed the SLG’s Convener, Comrade
Adeniyi, Alimi Sulaiman which was forwarded to the Police and concern
authorities over the subject matter for their urgent intervention and
copies were made available to newsmen on Monday, requesting for
punitive measure against the Police officers for their unprofessional
conduct.
According to the Petition, the group called for the immediate
arrest of these notorious land grabbers who are collaborators of
officers attached to Imota Police Station which they are; Kazeem
Adebola (Leemo), Apena, Chief Idris,Qadri Ajayi,Abbey Ridder,Hammer
Badmus,Daake Shootter and Sammi secretary, adding that the land
grabbers knew that the matter on the land in question was before the
court of competent Jurisdiction and ignorant is not known to law.
It further warned the Ayangburen of Ikorodu Kingdom to stop poking finger
into the eyes of the law, as the Law is not respecter
of anybody by making reference to the case of Dansunki vs. Maccido,
Oba of Ikoshi in Ketu, Oba of Ibeshe in Ikorodu and host of others so
as to serve as a big lesson to Olu of Ikorodu.
“However, it is quite unfortunate and highly embarrassing by the ugly
nonchalant conduct of these aforementioned Police officers who always
working against the law of the land by ignoring the procedures of the
legitimate Court over a matter because of what to eat and collect to
their pocket.
“It is pertinent to state categorically that we have not petitioned
your good office for petitioning sake but to register our great
displeasure over the outburst of buffoonery of these officers but
mainly to call for a radical trail and prosecution of the erring
officers in order to serve as deterrent to others”, the group
submitted.
It therefore threatened to mobilize the good people of the two
communities for peaceful demonstration to picket the Zone II Command
of the Nigeria Police Force if the necessary action is not taken by
the appropriate and concern authority to checkmate the illegal conduct
of the aforementioned officers.
