The Ogun State Government has been called upon to take decisive action against one Sulaimon Adelakun, an alleged notorious land grabber who is allegedly terrorizing communities in the state.
According to information gathered by our correspondence, Adelakun, who is currently facing criminal charges at the Chief Magistrate Court, Owode Egba, led a group of armed thugs to invade the Ijere Onigbedu area via Mowe, Ogun State, leaving two members of the land-owning families, Wale Oyedeji and Ibrahim Shagari, missing.
While speaking with News Channel on Friday, the head of Akinyemi Ogundimu family of Ijere Onigbedu and also the community leader, Rev. Olatunji Abiodun Akinyemi accused Adelakun of masterminding the attack, which they claim is part of a long-standing land dispute.
The family said despite his criminal record and ongoing court case, Adelakun has continued to wreak havoc, and his latest attack has left the community in fear.
Rev Akinyemi urged the state government to see Adelakun as a security risk and deal with him decisively, to prevent further violence and bloodshed.
"We have obtained a High Court judgment and an Appeal Court judgment in our favour, affirming our rightful ownership of the land.
"However, Sulaiman Adelakun, a notorious land grabber and thug, has continued to harass and intimidate us, using a group of youths from the community whom he has recruited and armed.
" Adelakun and his gang have escalated their criminal activities, even resorting to robbery and stealing valuable belongings from one of our community members.
"While we appreciate the efforts of the Commissioner of Police, CP Alamutu, and his team, who have tried to intervene, more needs to be done to ensure our safety and security in the community."
According to sources who don't want his name to be mentioned said Adelakun has a history of violence and intimidation, and has been using his thugs to terrorize communities and take over their land.
He said Adelakun's actions have been described as a threat to peace and security in the state, and his continued freedom has been seen as a slap on the face of justice.
"Sulaiman Adelakun's modus operandi involves the use of firearms, specifically guns loaded with live cartridges, to intimidate and harm anyone who dares to oppose him during his violent attacks.
"We are demanding that the government and the security agencies should take immediate action to protect us from Adelakun's terror and ensure that he faces the full wrath of the law."
