The parcels of land in question, according to the petitioners, are located in Ikorodu area of the state.
The family of Jiboro in Lagos State has petitioned the Nigerian government and different police departments alleging that land grabbers led by one Lamina Kamorudeen a.k.a Sir K Oluwo, forcefully took over their land and also destroyed properties worth millions of naira.
The parcels of land in question, according to the petitioners, are located in Ikorodu area of the state.
The plea was made by the head of the family, Alhaji Tajudeen Ojifini, who accused Kamorudeen of being a popular land grabber in the Ikorodu axis with his cohorts, Mukiala also known as "actor" and one Princess Josephine Momoh.
The family called on the Nigerian government, the state government, Ikorodu council, police and the people of Nigeria to come to their aides.
Tajudeen said Kamorudeen was never a member of the family but was laying claims to 8 plots of their land while threatening their lives with hired killers and “has not allowed us to rest.”
The Jiboro head of family added that they wrote a petition to the force headquarters on the matter in Abuja where they met with CP Sanusi in charge of SWAT who promised to wade into the matter.
“We later took the matter to Zone 2 Commander DIG Abiodun Alabi, who also promised to look into the matter. But up till now nothing has been done,” he said.
The Secretary of the Jiboro descendants who corroborated the story added that on Wednesday, 13 September 2023, Kamorudeen allegedly sent thugs wielding dangerous weapons to the land which has been converted to a market place dispersing the people and injuring them in the process.
“That on that fateful day being the market day when people of Ikorodu and its environs were enjoying their buying and selling. Suddenly, Kamoru Lamina a notorious land grabber, Princess Josephine Momoh, Mukaila a.k.a Actor and Lagos Commissioner of police Anti Cultism squad led by CSP Godfrey forcefully and criminally invaded Sabo market and started shooting in which everybody had to run for safety.
“Princess Josephine Momoh used to be the family agent who was given the deed of assignments with an agreement of 30% to 70 % and these have been settled long time ago. Later on, she went ahead and collaborated with Sir K to sell the land behind the family.
“The matter was raised in the presence of the DIG Abiodun Alabi and she vehemently and publicly denied ever selling the land in question, but the family was aware that she has sold part of the land worth of 384 million naira.
“On Wednesday 13 September, Josephine Momoh was the one who led the thugs that dispersed and injured people on the land that is now used as a market place . She was the same person that went to the police station to lie to the police authorities that the Jiboro family shot and brought thugs to the market.
“On getting to the police station, we were told to go to Ikorodu general hospital where the doctor confirmed that the person brought doesn't have any gunshots wound contrary to what Josephine accused the family of.”
The secretary added that the matter is already before the court but Josephine refused to show up when the matter first came up on the 23rd of June 2023.
The matter has been adjourned till October 3 2023, he added.
Speaking also on the issue, the Baale of Jiboro, Chief Ishola Abayomi denied ever having anything whatsoever to do with Kamorudeen.
He added that the land grabbers had been threatening to kill the “family one after the other if they don't relinquish the land to them.”
