The Osobia of Ijebu Makun-Omi, Waterside LGA of Ogun State, Oba Kazeem Adeshina Salami a.k.a “All Rounder”, has reportedly snubbed the Inspector General of Police, IGP Olatunde Disu and continued his violent attack on targeted victims over land grabbing in Eti Osa Local Government Area of Lagos State.
P.M.EXPRESS reports that Oba Salami at the weekend allegedly mobilized armed men with dangerous weapons to attack a property consultant, Stanley Oripelaye and when the men did not meet Oripelaye on the estate, they descended on his security man, Afolabi Yisau a.k.a Ijoba, robbed him and inflicted injury on him before they escaped.
The victim, Ijoba, who is lying critically ill at an undisclosed hospital receiving treatment, revealed that the armed men was led by Chief Abdulsalam Sulaimon Baale of Basorun Sangotedo, who is also the secretary of land grabbers in the area under Oba Salami.
According to the the victims, Oba Salami was angry over a petition submitted to the Inspector General of Police, which alleged a pattern of assault, intimidation, and property damage linked to land grabbing.
The petition by Cosmopolitan Properties Ltd to the Inspector General of Police, alleged a sustained campaign of criminal harassment, assault, burglary and threat to life against its staff and property in Eti-Osa, Lagos State, allegedly carried out by five named suspects acting on the instruction of one Alhaji Salami Kazeem, also known as “All Rounder”.
The company is urging the IGP’s office to intervene and ensure the safety of its staff, a thorough investigation of the allegations, and prosecution where evidence supports it.
The latest assault on the poor security guard has shown that Oba Salami may be an unrepentant suspected land grabber, who has no regard for law and order in the society.
