He alleged, “After beating us, Ibile took us into the bush and covered our eyes. They wanted to kill us but thank God, two men heading to their farm showed up at that moment and when they the people heading towards them, Saheed Ibile asked his boys to remove the veil on our eyes so that the people would not know what was happening and they also warned them not to take the route when returning. They said people had seen them and that they could not kill us again. “They removed my clothes, tore them and naked me and my boys; they recorded us and posted it on Facebook without doing anything to him.” Responding to the allegation, Mr Ibile, who spoke to The PUNCH in a telephone conversation, expressed his regrets for “overreacting” in what he said was a case of “self-defence.” “I owe Nigerians an apology for overreacting and stripping him (Oluwo) naked,” Ibile said, adding “but it was an act of self-defence.” He alleged that Oluwo called him on the phone while he (Ibile) was in Saudi Arabia to tell him that he (Oluwo) had been paid the sum of N12, 000,000 to assassinate him (Ibile). “He is a renowned hired assassin. And I will prove it. He called me on phone while I was in Saudi that somebody paid him N12, 000,000 to assassinate me, but if I could part with N100, 000,000 he was ready to let me go,” Ibile alleged. “After that, when I came back from Saudi, he actually attempted to come and assassinate me. But I’m well-prepared. Not that I’m happy, but nobody will hear (that) somebody wants to kill him and you see the fellow that wants to assassinate you and won’t overreact at that moment,” he added. He further alleged that Oluwo confessed in the presence of the police that he was paid N12,000,000 to assassinate him (Ibile), a claim that The PUNCH could not independently verify as of the time of filing this report. Ibile said he filed a petition to the office of the Inspector-General of Police against Oluwo on the matter which led to the arrest of Oluwo and five others who were later released. He added that Oluwo has been charged to court. 4 Likes 1 Share |

A certified true copy of a document said to be a Police Investigation Report and Legal Advice on the case, marked CR:3000/X/FHQ/ABJ/ADMIN/PPRO/VOL.273/82, but which could not be independently verified by The PUNCH, was obtained from Ibile by our correspondent. The document states the case as “Case of criminal conspiracy, threat to life, attempt to assassinate, forcible entry, malicious damage, land grabbing, criminal trespass, and conduct likely to cause breach of peace.” Speaking on the viral video and the presence of some police officers at the scene, Ibile alleged that Oluwo led some hoodlums to one of his properties and started shooting sporadically. He said he was with his personal security detail comprising some mobile policemen, adding that a team of policemen also came from Abuja following his petition to the Force Headquarters. “The team from Abuja was around. We didn’t even know because the team didn’t have a direct conversation with me. They came to arrest them (Oluwo and others) and these boys were running towards where we were, where my construction staff were working at the back of the estate. “Luckily, we were outside and heard the sound of gunfire exchange between the operatives that came from Abuja and Oluwo and his boys. “Somebody just called me that Esho Olobo (Oluwo) was part of those land grabbers (being chased by the police). I had to join the police myself to launch a manhunt for Esho Olobo and he was arrested,” Ibile said. He added that five of the boys were also arrested and stripped naked by the police. He said when they came out of the bush where the arrests were made, he faced Oluwo and said he (Oluwo) should also be stripped naked. Efforts to reach Oluwo were unsuccessful as calls to his telephone for two straight days were not answered and he had yet to reply to a text message sent to him as of press time. Meanwhile, a group of public interest lawyers, Lawyers for Reform Group, who is demanding justice for Oluwo, raised concerns in a video over the recent activities of land grabbers in the state. Speaking on behalf of the group, the Executive Project Director, LRG, Oladotun Hassan, narrated that a victim of attempted murder (Oluwo) was converted to a suspect by the Nigeria Police Force. “We, the Lawyers for Reform Group, a group of public interest lawyers committed to ensuring the protection of fundamental rights and equitable justice, readily offer to rescue Mr Shamsudeen Oluwo and Mrs Igbinoba Adeyinka who are victims of an attempted murder case but rearrested and converted in a separate matter whereby Oluwo was converted as a suspect in a matter he is the actual victim alongside his coworkers who we all see as victims and on whose behalf and instruction we call on the Inspector-General of Police to match his words with immediate action for onward sanitisation and reform of the Nigeria Police Force so as to pull out all bad eggs,” Hassan said. In a telephone conversation with The PUNCH, Hassan said he had written a petition on behalf of Oluwo and others to the IG on the matter. 1 Like 2 Shares |

He also said that the Lagos State Commissioner of Police had waded into the matter between Oluwo and Ibile, and, according to Hassan, the CP had asked all parties to look for ways to resolve the issues amicably while maintaining the status quo. “But Ibile on his own violated that stand of agreement. It was on the heels of parties maintaining the status quo and that issues should be reported back to the CP of Lagos State that Ibile took laws into his own hands. “He admitted on his own (social media) timeline that if not for God, Mr Oluwo would have been killed. He said Mr Oluwo was lucky to only be stripped naked,” the lawyer told our correspondent. Hassan, commenting on the viral video, said, “On that fateful day, Ibile came with his boys and some policemen and they meted harms and attacks and wreaked havoc, shooting sporadically with people sustaining injuries. “Oluwo and other workers on the site were beaten to stupor and stripped naked. They were all piled up and packed like sardines. They took them from that same spot, having stripped them naked, into the bush and wanted to kill them. It was just the intervention of two farmers who were passing by that saved them from being killed. And that’s what happened.” He added that Ibile is claiming assassination threats after attempting to kill Oluwo and others, wondering, “How can someone you beat to stupor with (the aid of) over 100 thugs and policemen be the one attempting to assassinate you?” Hassan further stated that Oluwo and others were taken to the Force Headquarters in Abuja where they spent two weeks before they were returned to Lagos “and Ibile went ahead to charge them to court,” after he (Ibile) had “taken the law into his own hands.” Reacting to the video showing the stripping of Oluwo and others, the Force Public Relations Officer, Nigeria Police Force, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, said the Lagos State Commissioner of Police was already on the case, assuring that the Lagos Police Command would update Nigerians on the matter. Adejobi wrote, “Lagos State CP is on this matter. We will do the needful, and justice will be seen to have been done. I am sure the Lagos State command will update us as and when due. Thanks.” Efforts to reach the Lagos State PPRO, Hundeyin, were unsuccessful as calls to his telephone were not answered for two days and a text message sent to him had yet to be replied to as of press time. Speaking with The PUNCH in a telephone chat, the Chief Press Secretary to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Mr Gboyega Akosile, said the Sanwo-Olu-led government frowns upon the issue of land-grabbing in the state and is doing everything possible to curb it. “It is an issue that the Lagos State Government frowns upon very seriously. It is not something that the government is taking lightly considering what the menace does to society. “We’ve had several cases of land-grabbing and, of course, the government has waded in. “We have a department in the Ministry of Justice where land-grabbing cases are treated. And those that tend to be criminal in nature are taken up, and, of course, people have been happy because there are some people who have taken their cases through the land-grabbing department and whose cases have been resolved,” Akosile said. He encouraged those having issues relating to land-grabbing “to come to the government,” urging them not to “resort to self-help which may turn them also into criminals when they take up arms against those suspected criminals (land grabbers). Just come to the government and the government will help you with your land-grabbing case.” “The Ministry of Justice has a very effective and efficient unit that handles such cases,” the governor’s aide added. “The administration of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu frowns on the issue of land-grabbing. It is something that the government does not condone and will always treat it with the measures that it deserves,” Akosile stressed. 1 Like 1 Share |
