Ex-Lagos Deputy Governor Denies Fraud Allegation, States Facts

Following reports that the Special Fraud Unit of the Nigeria Police has declared a former Deputy Governor of Lagos State, Alhaja Sinatu Ojikutu, wanted for allegedly defrauding a land buyer of N130m, her lawyer has responded with facts to debunk the allegations.

The SFU alleged in a statement on Wednesday that the suspect and her son, Samson, obtained money from the victim by false representation.

The Commissioner of Police for the command, Tunde Ogunsakin, said, “The victim alleged that in September 2011, the suspects conspired and sold a parcel of land at Plot 24 Block 4 situated at Admiralty Way, Lekki Phase 1, Lagos for N130m which he paid into the first suspect’s account with the Union Bank of Nigeria Plc.

However, below is her lawyer’s response to the report:

RE: COMPLAINT AGAINST ALHAJA SINATU ADEROJU OJIKUTU AND SAMSON ADEBISI OJIKUTU

1. We act for Alhaja Sinatu Aderoju Ojikutu and Samson Adebisi Ojikutu (Jnr), “Our Clients”.

2. Our clients’ brief is that, further to a contract of sale executed between them and one Mr. Cajetan Okekearu (“the Complainant”) in respect of Plot 24 Block 4, Lekki Residential Scheme, Phase 1, said Mr Cajetan Okekearu laid a complaint of obtaining by false pretences against them at your Police Station.

3. Our Client also informed us that despite making a statement essentially detailing the facts in 6 i. – xviii. below to them, said Police Officers of the Special Fraud Unit of the Nigeria Police have continued to contact Alhaja Sinatu Aderoju Ojikutu about monies alleged to be due from our clients to Mr. Cajetan Okekearu.

4. Our Client, Alhaja Ojikutu has also made herself available to the Special Fraud Unit of the Nigeria police anytime her attention was required on the matter. That is why it has come as a surprise to us that the Police are planning to make a publication declaring our Client wanted.

5. In view of the foregoing events, our clients have instructed us to state the facts of the case to the general members of the public as follows:

i. Sometime in 1984 Alhaja Sinatu Aderoju Ojikutu and her late husband, Mr Sampson Adebisi Ojikutu (“said late husband”) contributed money towards the application for and acquisition of a plot of land in the Lekki Residential Scheme, Phase 1 on which property they intended to build a new matrimonial home.

ii Further to Alhaja Sinatu Aderoju Ojikutu’s aforesaid agreement with her said late husband, her said late husband (whose initials are ‘S. A. Ojikutu’), applied for and on the 2nd of January, 1985 the Governor of Lagos State allocated the land known and described as PLOT 24 BLOCK 4 LEKKI RESIDENTIAL SCHEME PHASE `1, MEASURING 1379.50 SQUARE METERS (‘the said land’) to Alhaja Sinatu Aderoju Ojikutu’s said late husband who acquired said land for himself and for Alhaja Sinatu Aderoju Ojikutu, which land is numbered ‘24’ and verged blue in the survey plan No.LS/D/LA366.

iii. That on the 6th of June, 1991 the Governor of Lagos State issued a Lagos State Certificate-of-Occupancy in respect of said land to our her later husband, Mr. Sampson Adebisi Ojikutu, which Certificate-of-Occupancy was registered at the Lagos State Land Registry Office, Ikeja as NUMBER 28 AT PAGE 28 IN VOLUME 1991Z on the 6th of June, 1991.

iv. Immediately after the Governor of Lagos State granted the said land to Alhaja Sinatu Aderoju Ojikutu’s said late husband, preparatory to starting construction work thereon, Alhaja Sinatu Aderoju Ojikutu and her said late husband entered into the said land and deposited tons of sand and concrete and corrugated roofing sheets on the said land and never at any time and in any manner whatsoever removed said building materials.

- 2 -

v. Our Clients know for a fact and believe that from the time the Lagos State Government granted said land to Mr. Sampson Adebisi Ojikutu to the time of his death, Mr. Sampson Adebisi Ojikutu and/or Mrs. Aderoju Sinatu Ojikutu never at any sold, alienated or in any manner whatsoever charged or encumbered Mr. Sampson Adebisi Ojikutu’s interests on the said land.

vi. That Sampson Adebisi Ojikutu died intestate in the United States of America on the 29th of August, 2008, leaving Alhaja Sinatu Aderoju Ojikutu, his wife and joint owner of the said land, as the survivor to the title thereof. Enclosed herewith is the death Certificate issued in the United States of America following our Client’s late husband’s death.

1. Do not shave off your eyebrows only to redraw them with a pencil… it makes no sense

2. Do not put on too much make up, you end up looking like you came out of the make-up factory.

3. Do not wear a vest or sleeveless top without shaving your armpits or without a bra underneath

4. Do not leave chipped nail polish to wear off on its own, there's a reason why they sell nail polish remover.

5. If you can’t afford good quality weaves, don’t bother.

6. Do not do artificial nails that makes you look like a drag queen, simple is always sexy.

7. See-through leggings or a top used as a dress when you are out in public is a hell-to-the-no!

8. Never do things for a man with a hope of getting something in return, expectations are dangerous. Do it because you simply want to.

9. Never contradict what your man says - in public.

10. Never stalk the man that left you for the other woman.

11. Do not share your best friend's personal life with every Tom, Dick and Harry.

12. Women should never act on distress in relationships like checking your man’s phone, nagging him to death, and acting like a paranoid freak. You will simply release him to someone else by doing so.

13. Never dish out your entire family drama on a first date. The guy just wants to know about you.

14. Stop obsessing over your body. It’s good to eat healthy and work out but let's leave it at that.

15. Never over-accessorize. stop looking like a Christmas tree.

16. Never leave home without lipgloss, your phone and most of all, your dignity.

17. Never leave your used sanitary towel in the toilet for the next person to see. Women please!

18. Never wear very high heels if you can’t do the Naomi Campbell walk. You look like a drunk grasshopper.

19. Never wear short skirts and low cut tops when off to an interview. You will create the wrong impression.

20. And finally, 'Never wish to be like any other woman. There are others out there envying you for who you are' -

This is our response to the scandal that arose after a wedding between Mr. Solomon Akiyesi, not a member of the Overcomers Church World Outreach, and Ms. Uloma Agwu, a devoted member, was disrupted by an already existing Mrs. Lilian Akiyesi on Saturday, April 13.

Rumour and lies soon followed after the wedding ceremony was overturned with violence.

The Overcomers Church respects the sanctity of marriage. We’d hoped that Mrs. Akiyesi and her family members who stormed church had afforded us the same respect and handled the matter in a manner befitting a house of worship.

It is an ugly incident, but one the church has to address so we can move forward with our spiritual walk.

Our founder Bishop N.E. Moses addressed the congregation concerning the matter on Sunday. This is a video clip of his speech to the church.
