There has been a lingering battle in my area for the past ten years between the landlords and land grabbers known as Omo Onile. It's in Idimu (Mafon and Egunje Bus Stop axis)

If my memory serves me right, they've come more than four different times with thugs and policemen to raid and destroy people's properties. But this time, they came again with a stronger force on Friday, November 1st with a "court order" that they've finally been granted ownership and possession of the land, and accordingly to them, their family brought the land way back in 1975.

They brought over twenty thugs including policemen to start terrorizing people. They chased both tenants and landlords from their houses and locked them out. The most saddening part is that these thugs now work as night guards just to ensure anyone who breaks the padlock is beaten to pulp.

They were out on the watch to ensure nobody made a coverage of it and I can remember how the policemen that came along with them descended on a young man and beat him up for taking pictures of the event.

Even the so lawyers of these land grabbers were the ones giving orders and motivating these thugs to be breaking people's doors and bringing out theirs properties before locking them out with their own keys. They don't care if have Cof

Now, no one can enter their houses. Many people can't even go to work as they are now are now sleeping elsewhere. No empathy at all for both pregnant women and nursing mothers.

Now they are demanding for ratification from landlords on the said lands in which failure to do so will result to demolishing of their houses by this family. I heard they are making outrageous demands from these men who are already at their old age.

The earlier Lagos state government addresses this issue, the better.

I decided to bring this up on Nairaland so the whole world can see the inhumane action of land grabbers melted on people

koffsman:
Even if they have court order they shouldn't treat them like animals they can ask them to pay or find a way to settle instead of using thugs and police to threaten citizens we are in a messed up country

Andhominem:


The land can only be leased to them especially those who are not Yoruba...

I sincerely pity all those affected though, but when pigggidddiotts think they are wiser than Yorubas, this is what they get...

Hadekolarh:
Thanks for this post, may God continue to bless you. This is my dad area. My dad house was locked up and also my mom shop. They throw both my dad and mom out of the house since last week Friday.

They march my parent out of their house and also other landlords with about 20 thugs, the thugs are the one incharge of the whole houses keys, it's the thugs that took over from the the policemen when they left on Friday. The thugs are with charms and some dangerous weapons.

They brought about 10 policemen from Idimu division. They all came with full force threaten to kill any of the residence that refuse to move out of their house.

Since Friday no shop and schools were open even till now.

Presently some families who refuse to open their gates has been locked up and imprison them since Friday. This is getting out of hand

Also there's a man of 80yrs old in my dad area that was thrown out with a gun point and brought out his properties. As I'm telling you this particular man is presently in the hospital.

This is the address of the affected place where this so called land grabbers came to operate is mafon/idimu.

When you're coming from ejigbo going toward idimu. There is a particular place called mafon. From mafon to church bus stop. Adekola street/ akhilele street/ monsurat okuleye street/akinwumi koshemani street/ Yomi shofumade street and also some houses that face the main road going toward idimu or Christland college school area. This is the best way I can discribe the location.

If you have anyone who live in idimu/ejigbo. Give them a call to confirm this story and you will see its true.

Andhominem:


Yorubas in other parts of the country always respect and honour their hosts.

You don't see them beating empty chests like chimps online and contesting political positions with their hosts.

Can you now spot the difference

Once again, I empathise with all those affected...

Yinibixema:

So omo onile Dey chase people for their house for Ibadan ?

Imagine a country where hoodlums are powerful than law abiding citizens.

if you south South or south east and have stayed in the west you should know the afonja. people very well

. backstabbing
. like to play smart where as you already outplay he/ she
. very religious
. don't trust them
. most of their ladies find english hard so they stick with their yoruba brothers

only afonja land thugs think they are bigger than the law so many more

mightybishop:
Nah normal thing for here. You're likely to face this issue on your property twice in 3-5 years.

bigfoot79:
This is not a land grabber/thuggery induced occurrence, it is clear front the pictures that it is an execution of a judgment of the high court of Lagos in Suit No: ID/523/1993
Meaning this is a case that was filed since 1993 , judgment has been delivered and there in so appeal.
It is either the present Landlords did not follow the progress of the case in court and most of if hem would have bought without due diligence

perryy:


Keep quiet,mumu. Na Yoruba get Lagos ? Is there anything like Yoruba in the Constitution? They should pray a troublesome person is not among those affected, what they will pay would even be more than the cost of the supposed price if land. That u speak Yoruba doesn't make u owner of Lagos. Your village is in far away owode Idiroko and neither u nor your ancestors have a quarter plot of land in Lagos. You don't even have a room to sleep in Lagos , you sleep under bridge and claiming Yoruba up and down. Of an Ibo man has money, a Yoruba landlord will lease his house to him but a fellow Yoruba man without money won't even near a Yoruba man for a room apartment. How many Ibos live in VI? How many of them live in Banana island?
