@VONNEWS


Operatives from the Area F Police Command, Lagos, yesterday, bursted a team of labourers working for Lagos' serial land grabbers,Femi Ogundare and Festus Rashidi, at the controversial Monkey Village, Ikeja.


According to the family lawyer, Barr. Monye Monye of the Meados and Amures,the bonafide owners of the 12.75 acres of land since 1912 known as Monkey Village, the labourers, an excavator driver, Fagbenro Ogundana and others were nabbed by the police who arrived on invitation of the Meados at the point when they have completed demolition of structures built by the real owners.


Barr Monye stressed that their illegal operations were ordered by Femi and his cohorts who, despite High Court, Appeal Court and Supreme Court injunctions and rulings, have persisted to intrude,invade and destroy things in this expanse of land
that earned its name monkey village nomenclature due to its occupants, which includes the mechanics and miscreants as overgrown weeds is seen to cover the vast land sequel to years of prolonged abandonment. To substantiate Barr's assertion, one of the arrested labourers , Fagbenro confessed to the police that they have acted on Mr. Femi's Ogundare's order, he assumed ownership of a portion of the land after buying illegally from Festus Rashidi.

Reacted to the development, the spokesman for the Meados family, Mr.Tosin Olanrewaju Meados,described Mr.Festus as an impostor about whom the Meados and Amures have published a disclaimer which warned members of the public to avoid any deal with him on behalf of their family as he remains an impostor of the highest degree.

In same vein, Chief Boleja Amure referred to Festus Rashidi as great impostor who remains a great land grabber. He therefore called on the relevant govt agencies and authorities to intervene in this matter which he said has assumed a dangerous dimension with the land grabbers using soldiers and policemen, some of who declared recently to have been drafted from the SCID, Panti, Lagos.
