The Managing Director of the Lekki Free Zone Ltd, Mr. Tajudeen Disu is among persons killed as Ibeju-Lekki villagers and mobile police officers clashed in Okunraiye community near Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos, this morning. Tajuden Disu

The villagers said they were on a peaceful protest against "forceful takeover" of their land by the Lagos state government on behalf of Africa’s richest industrialist, Aliko Dangote and the Lekki Free Zone Ltd when policemen attacked them reportedly killing two of the protesters instantly.

The villagers said the killing resulted in a crisis.

A local chief in the area told Saharareporters that the Lekki Free Zone Ltd called in anti-riot policemen of "Mopol 49" to kill the protesters because they had insisted too long ago against forceful acquisition of the community land by the Lekki Free Zone Ltd for the construction of a large petrochemical refinery owned by Mr. Dangote. The chief said the Mopol were led and supervised to the protest scene by Managing Director of the Lekki Free Zone Ltd, Mr. Disu.

But Mr. Disu was also among those downed as the police officers guarding him and protesters clashed, according to the local chief. One of the police officers was also feared dead. The community has been taken over by soldiers reinforced to the community as the crisis escalated.

The village is currently being raided by Nigerian troops sent to the community as a result of the crisis. Many villagers have vacated the village out of fear.
Habib Aruna, who is the Chief Press Secretary to Governor of Lagos state, Akinwunmi Ambode told Saharareporters that the governor had just addressed the media over the crisis. He confirmed that Mr. Disu died in the fracas stating that his body has been deposited at the Lagos State University Hospital for a post-mortem.

When Government acquires land for public use, the owners are entitled to adequate compensation (emphasis on adequate). Over time, what the Lagos State Government does is that it acquires large parcels of land (e.g 500 Hectares) for public uses. Now, when the villagers apply for excision of their land, they get a little portion of it back (e.g 80 Hectares). Apart from this released portion, there is no financial compensation to these families for the 420 Hectares of land taken from the family. The Government relies on the Land Use Act to perpetrate this fraud.

A little portion of the 420 Hectares (e.g 100 Hectares) is then used for government purposes while the remaining 320 Hectares is then shared by the powers that be in the form of GRAs, Estates and other land holdings. This has been done since the time of Raji Rasaki up to Fashola.

I think the Government needs to carry the indigenous land owners in projects like this. There should be adequate compensation paid and effective dispute resolution techniques applied.

what? This is crazy!!! RIP.

May his soul rest in peace. Reminds me of my father's advice;

Lonelydora, Please dont ever drag anything call Land or Property even if it rightly belongs to me. Land can kill and it's only a living person that can acquire it. As long as there's life, God will give you another land. Thank you father for that advice.

Any young man in that village should be very careful now because these troops can vent their anger on them.

too bad. Aliko dangote is somewhere probably cosy enjoying and expanding and people are dying for him. What a world we live in. RIP to the dead.

Djj

Hian. This story is somehow
Well RIP Disu

This issue is somehow.

From the report, he led Policemen on a mission to oppress and then met his waterloo.

But I wonder if he didn't go there as a mediator instead, cos it is foolhardy for him to have gone with the police to confront the people, knowing violence could erupt. That would have been a foolish decision to take, except he earlier had a history of gangsteerism.

I had rather not draw a conclusion at this point.

What an irony...

Why protest on land that has probably been sold by the elders

Ala n' eri ihe

Rest in peace.

The bush meat don hunt the hunter

Rip. I thought the villagers previously agreed that the land will be given to Lagos state government for the refinery construction...

Too bad

E son start. The poor have started eating the rich. Sincerely, the oppression in Naija is too much. God eey.

Welcome to the Niger Delta oil and gas exploration experience club.

This is just a minute impact compared to what the oil producing communities have been suffering, and yet the South West slaves have started crying.

Huh!

Don't this people know that the land wherever belongs to the Government either they like it or not.. ..RIP to the dead

Haahaa

Change, we really need CHANGE to this omonile problems.

Hmmnnn.

my God! just like that RIP to him
