She also accused him of fraud, forgery, attempted murder and bodily harmed injuries.
An activist, Dr. Sandra Duru, has petitioned the office of the Inspector-General of Police, Usman Baba, requesting that the IGP monitoring unit cancels and reinvestigates the case between Amen Estate boss, Chief Sade Balogun, Harmony Garden and Estate Development Limited boss, Saheed Mosadoluwa and one Adeyinka Igbinoba.
Igbinoba had alleged that Mosadoluwa and his thugs attacked her for daring to ask him to refund N30 million collected from her siblings and about a parcel of land which was later found to be fraudulent.
She also accused him of fraud, forgery, attempted murder and bodily harmed injuries.
Narrating the incident to SaharaReporters, she had said that life had become brutish, hard and unforgiving as the hope for a new life had been dashed by alleged moves by police authorities in Lagos and operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to sweep the matter under the carpet.
According to her, Balogun has also denied her right to enter her property at Amen Estate Phase 2, which she said was legitimately acquired from her; and that her life has been constantly threatened by the agent.
However, Mosadoluwa denied the allegations, adding that he was being defamed by the former Chairman of Amen Estate, Babatunde Olalere Gbadamosi who allegedly contracted Igbinoba, Biodun Abdul, Mrs. Okoror and Mrs. Olusola Abdul Beckley to say bad things about him.
The agent also alleged Babatunde conspired with the Public Relations Officer of the Nigeria Police, Muyiwa Adejobi, to jail him and his ex-wife, Ms Balogun, after losing out the estate.
In a petition sent to the IGP, Duru said the reasons she is asking for a fresh investigation was because she believed that the result of the previous findings by the monitoring unit was biased, unprofessional and misleading.
Her petition was titled “RESPONSE, PETITION FOR ANNULMENT OF REPORT BY IGP MONITORING TEAM AND RE-INVESTIGATION OF CASE BETWEEN YINKA IGBINOBA, SAHEED MOSADOLUWA IBILE, AND MADAM SADE BALOGUN”.
It read, “Following a recent report allegedly submitted by the Inspector General of Police (IGP) Monitoring Unit in the case between Yinka Igbinoba vs. Saheed Mosadoluwa Ibile and Madam Sade Balogun, we hereby seek to contest the reported findings and final recommendations of the report, as it is biased, unprofessional, misleading, and maliciously damaging to the innocent brand and image of our sister, friend, citizen, and close associate, Madam Sade Balogun.
“A press release was also issued to this effect by the FPPRO, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, on September 7, 2022, with Ref No. CZ.5300/FPRD/FHQ/ABJ/VOL.4/173, and we feel obliged to respond publicly, seeing that it was posted on the NPF official Twitter account and his other social media platforms, too.
“CSP Muyiwa Adejobi claims that the “police did perfect investigations” on this case in contention and alleges that the “suspects are crying foul for undue sympathy.” However, both claims are as far from the truth as the heavens are as far from the earth, and we have irrefutable pieces of evidence, materials, and facts to prove this!
“It may interest the public to know that in a recent phone conversation with CSP Adejobi on this same case in question, he openly admitted his shock, surprise, and ignorance about some very key and damning facts about this same case he claims was “perfectly-investigated,” yet some of the few facts we will point out below were alien to him. This is quite bizarre, isn't it?
“According to CSP Adejobi, the police’s “detailed investigation into the petition has successfully addressed the three (3) salient issues” about this case, and he presented those issues in his press release. Due to some libelous and defaming claims made in this release and the police report, we have decided to painstakingly go through it, so that we can present the truth to the public. And, having been privy to the situation before and several vital facts, that the investigators look to have shockingly omitted, missed, or deliberately ignored, here are our well-detailed observations and findings in two parts, and petition below:
“SECTION A: OBVIOUS QUESTIONABLE CLAIMS IN COMPLAINANT' S STATEMENTS THAT AN UNBIASED INVESTIGATION SHOULD HAVE DULY QUERIED
“(1) Complainant claims that her sisters wanted to purchase a piece of land from Saheed Ibile’s company, and “upon request, a copy of the title document being the C-Of-O was given to them for verification.” This claim is not only fallacious but ludicrous at the same time.
“No sane business person would issue you a receipt for a good or release their goods on sale to you without you making payment or at least a deposit for the said goods. A land title deed can never be given to a “prospective customer” for any reason, unless money has exchanged hands, either as a deposit for the land, part payment, or what-have-you. The claim that they were given that document, then later pressured to pay N30 million by the agent, is a bogus lie because that money was initially paid as a deposit to secure the said land before any document was released to them. These trade facts are easily verifiable, and if a thorough investigation was indeed done, this claim should have been flagged.
“(2) The complainant's account of what transpired at Ibile’s office on the night her ankle was allegedly broken, by the former is terribly over-sensationalized, atrocious, and filled with several logical and even biological impossibilities! Her “attempted murder” claims come from the events at this location, and if it is thoroughly investigated, these loopholes can be easily identified and queried.
“Regarding her “Amen Estate residence” claims, there was irrefutable evidence submitted and even published in the media, that clearly stated and proved that Igbinoba was never denied access to her “house in Amen Estate,” as she claimed. On the contrary, she doesn't even own a “house” there, as her alleged property is a piece of land with an uncompleted structure. There are documents, pictures, and even video recordings to prove this if anyone wants to contest its veracity. She doesn’t live in Amen Estate.
“All that transpired on the day she alleges she was denied access to the estate was clearly explained, verified, and never disputed or challenged after it was published in the media, with relevant documents as proof attached, even by Igbinoba herself. Why is there now a recommendation for Madam Sade Balogun to be charged to court, on the count of “conduct likely to cause a breach of peace”, even after seeing and having all these facts?
“Why is she being roped by the investigation team, into an attempted murder charge that is utterly baseless, unfounded, and maliciously constructed against her, to tarnish her image and reputation and destroy her brand?
“SECTION B: CLEAR DISCREPANCIES IN THE INVESTIGATION TEAM’S FINAL REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS
“(1) In an inexplicable show of alarming incompetence and disregard for the legal security of the body he supposedly communicates and publicly relates for, CSP Adejobi maliciously began the title of his press release against Madam Sade: “AMEN ESTATE CASE,” and this is the height of it. Still, it also reveals some very questionable motives.
“(2) The complainant, in her complaint, alleges that Ibile attempted to murder her at his office, but she was lucky to have escaped with only a broken ankle. She claimed that a “carved wooden stick” was taken from the reception and allegedly used to break her ankle when he missed his initial target, which was her head. She also claimed to have been recording the breaking of her leg and has everything recorded, and up till now she hasn't provided the video. Police, where is the video and why didn’t you mark it as an exhibit?
“(3) There has been an established pattern of names dropping of reputable police officers by certain individuals who have proven over time to be unscrupulous and shady. Now, while the said officers cannot be blamed for the lousiness of these individuals, they can indeed be held accountable if any of their words or actions correlates with whatever their lousy associates have said about them.”
