ABUSE OF POLICE POWER: NICON TRUSTEES LTD ACCUSED OF LAND-GRABBING AT ALMA BEACH ESTATE, IKATE, LAGOS

Following the repeated invasion, occupation, intimidation and destruction of properties at Alma Beach Estate, Ikate, Lagos by armed policemen and thugs recruited by Nicon Trustees Limited, the allottees of the highbrow estate has petitioned President Muhammadu Buhari and the Inspector General of Police in what they described as “gross abuse of police power”.

Speaking through their legal counsel, Chief N.C. Okwarauba via 2 pages Open Letter published in Vanguard Newspaper of Monday October 21, 2019 (pages 36 & 37), the allottees accused Nicon Trustees of flagrantly disobeying the interim order by Justice S. Hassan of the Federal High Court dated July 2, 2019 with reference FHC/L/CL/1046/2019 which barred Nicon, Abah Ona and Others from using the instrumentality of the Nigerian Police Force to rely on Justice Obiozor’s Order of 26 October 2017 in further invading or entering the property at Alma Beach Estate.

Counsel to Alma Beach is accusing Nicon and its agents of fraudulently obtaining the criminal assistance of the PSO to the Inspector General of Police and other top ranking police officers to engage in illegality and abuse of power to intimidate and attempt to grab plots of land forcefully from innocent landowners in the estate.

While calling on the IGP to call his men to order and immediately order their evacuation from the property, Okwarauba urged the Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu to investigate the attempts by Nicon agents to infiltrate the Lagos state Surveyor General’s office, Mr Sangowanwa, to swap original documents with their cloned copies in connivance with their insider agents at Alausa.

TechTrybe Africa, a company dedicated to unleashing the power of technology to transform African youths, businesses and organizations has just been launched. As the largest growing online tech community in Africa, they are on a mission of raising a new generation of African youths who will not just consume or study about technology, but become leading players in global technological innovations to solve problems in the society.

While technology has been a major source of development, the African continent has rather been more of consumers rather than contributors towards global technological advancement. Many African youths, businesses and organizations also seem to be bereft of technological skills and knowledge to leverage technology to skyrocket their growth.

With passion for technology, media and entertainment, Kunbi Black, founder of TechTrybe Africa decided to initiate a company that will become the number one African tech community to groom African youths from a very tender but sensitive age about the entire concept of technology through online and offline trainings, seminars, conferences, internships, workshops, festivals, TV shows and much more.
