A Lagos lawyer, Mr. Bamidele Ogundele, has asked the Inspector-General of Police, Solomon Arase to call to order some of his officers, who harass and terrorise some community leaders in the Lekki Area of Lagos State over land disputes.
Ogundele, in a Save Our Soul (SOS) letter written on behalf of the community leaders, alleged that a certain Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), Mr. Oyinlola Adeoye of the X Squad, Force Criminal Investigation Department, Alagbon, Ikoyi, Lagos, always allow himself to be used in terrorising some principal members of the Dada Bakare Family of Abijo Town, Ibeju Lekki Local Government Area of Lagos State.
The petition, which was jointly signed by the counsels to the family, Ogundele and Raimi Oluwaseyi Nojeen alleged that the DCP Adeoye has been using his officers to terrorise the community. They warned that his actions, if not checked, “are capable of causing a breach of the peace, lawlessness or outright anarchy”.
The Dada Bakare family of Abijo claimed to be the traditional owners of a large parcel of land totalling 75,000 hectares at Abijo Village, which was officially Gazetted by the Lagos State Government with No. 55 Volume 40 of 2007 and which is the subject matter in suit number LD/2308/2011 before a Lagos High Court.
The family said it was surprised when a certain Alhaji Akeeb A. Adams, a native of Lamgbasa Village in the same Ibeju Lekki, allegedly invaded their property with some land grabbers to take over their land without the consent or authority of the family.
They alleged further that the said Alhaji Akeeb “engaged” the services of the DCP Adeoye, who they claimed has been giving security backing to the illegal and unconstitutional actions of the hoodlums hired by Alhaji Adams.
“DCP Adeoye personally led a police patrol team to take over the Dada Bakare family land at Abijo Town without a Court Order or Execution of Court Order despite the suit pending in court by the Dada Bakare family in LD/2308/2011 against Alhaji Akeeb Alarape Adams & Ors for the illegal trespass.
“Several members of the Dada Bakare Family including Mr. Raimi Oluwaseyi Nojeem, Mrs. Sikiratu Aduni Lawal, Chief Sadiku Noah, Mr. Kamoru Suleiman, Mr. Waheed Aluko and Mr. Sheriff Sulaimon were intimidated, harassed and arrested by the OC X Squad team without any justification.
“Coupled with this, the rights of the Dada Bakare Family members to human dignity, liberty and freedom of movement as guaranteed by Section 34, 35 and 41(1) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) as well as Article 4, 5, 6 and 12 of the African Charter of Human and People’s Right Law of the Federation 2004, were curtailed and violated on several occasions.
“We forward a petition to the office of the Inspector-General of Police and our matter was assigned to the P.R.O Department of Force CID, Area 10, Abuja and the case file of X Squad, Force CID, Alagbon, Ikoyi, Zone 2, Onikan and Area J. Ajiwe Police Headquarters were all retrieved for discreet and God-fearing investigation,” the petition stated.
The family alleged that despite the intervention of the Inspector General of Police and transfer of the case file, DCP Adeoye still continues to harass and intimidate them at the alleged instigation of Alhaji Akeeb Alarape Adams.
