October 13, 2023

Saheed Mosadoluwa is also the Chairman of Harmony Garden and Estate Development Limited and Ibile Auctioneers and Recovery Limited.

 

The Lagos State government has arraigned one Arakat Audullahi, a.k.a. Saheed Audullahi Mosadoluwa before an Oshodi Magistrate Court for various offences including kidnapping.

Court document obtained by SaharaReporters on Friday showed that Saheed Audullahi Mosadoluwa, an allegedly notorious land grabber was arraigned before Magistrate Adesanya on a four-count charge bordering on conspiracy, malicious destruction of property, violent conduct, assault occasioning bodily harm and violation of human Rights on Wednesday.

 

Saheed Mosadoluwa is also the Chairman of Harmony Garden and Estate Development Limited and Ibile Auctioneers and Recovery Limited.

SaharaReporters reported on September 7, 2023, that some public interest lawyers under the aegis of Lawyers for Reform Group (LRG) called on the Acting Inspector General of Police (IGP) Kayode Egbetokun to order a thorough investigation into the alleged use of police orderlies for land grabbing, brutality among others in Lagos State, Southwest Nigeria.

LRG which made the call during a press conference in Abuja alleged that one Mr Urakat Audullahi, who also uses the name - Saheed Mosadoluwa, aka Ibile in Lagos State engaged over 30 police orderlies to perpetrate criminalities in the state including attempted murder.

SaharaReporters on September 11 reported that the lawyers' group also accused Ibile and his gang of brutalising Adetunji in his house and stripping him naked in another attack on peaceful communities in Lagos state by land grabbers.

The lawyers had called on President Bola Tinubu, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Director General of the Department of State Services (DSS), National Security Adviser, Egbetokun and the state police commissioner to jointly and immediately commence due diligent investigation to prosecute anyone found culpable accordingly.

Sources, however, told SaharaReporters on Friday that Mosadulawa was arrested on Tuesday and was arraigned in court on Wednesday evening.

One of the sources said that police are currently investigating these claims that he is a serial killer, who specialised in killing and disposing of the bodies of victims of his land-grabbing activities.

"He is highly connected to certain persons in high offices within the Lagos State Government, and Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu would do well to ensure that justice is done and seen to be done in this matter, or else Ibile's claims to be Sanwo-Olu's associate would be proved to be true."
