Investigate cases of land grabbing, assault of land owners in Ikoyi Ile – SPANCI tells IGP
A human rights group, Save the Poor and Needy Charity Initiative (SPANCI), has tasked the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, to investigate cases of land grabbing and assault of land owners in Ikoyi Ile in Oriire local government area in Oyo state.
The group made the appeal in a petition signed by its president, Comrade Yemi Ezekiel Bello, and addressed to the IGP.
Bello, in the petition made available to journalists on Sunday, May 12, said that the group has the consent of Adeniji Joel, Elijah Oyeleye, and the people of Ogunere, Temidire, Egbejoda, and other neighbouring villages to write the petition to the IGP.
He alleged that the people of the villages were being attacked by thugs bearing guns and other dangerous weapons.
The group claimed that the suspect had forcefully entered, seized lands in the villages, and damaged the economy crops, and plants of the people of the villages.

The group in the petition copied the Commissioner for Justice and Attorney General of Oyo State, DPP Oyo State Ministry of Justice, Commissioner of Police, AIG Zone 11, Area Commander Owode Area Command Ogbomoso, and DPO Ikoyi Ile police division.
The group further said that many villages have been wrongfully arrested, calling on the IGP to intervene in the matter.
The petition read: “We have the consent of Mr. Adeniji Joel, Elijah Oyeleye, and the people of the above-mentioned village hereinafter referred to as our clients, who are about five or six villages namely Ogunere, Temidire, Egbejoda, and others to write this letter so that their rights might be protected.
“Our clients told us and we investigated the matter and found their allegation to be true and correct that a serial land grabber uses thugs with guns and other dangerous weapons to attack them and forcefully entered, seized their lands, maliciously damaged their economy crops, and plants and sold their land. They alleged that many times the accused would send his thugs to invade their farmland and assault people claiming that he was the owner of the land.
“They alleged that despite all his criminal activities and his boys for years, Ikoyi-Ile police division and Owode Area Commander’s men have always protected him to have his ways and have not prosecuted him or his thugs but rather will manipulate the case in a way to obstruct, prevent, pervert and defeat the cause of justice but rather turn the case against them and rather try to implicate them in favour of the Elemo’s.
“The recent one is the case of Ogunere people which was reported to us when he sent his thugs to invade Ogunere villagers’ farmland and assaulted the farmers and seized their cutlasses, hoes, and other equipment used for farming which was confirmed to us by Ikoyi Ile police DCO.”
