Land-grabbing: 3 In Intensive Care As Thugs Batter Residents In Lagos by Obascoetubi: 7:19am On Jun 23, 2015
LAGOS— Doctors at a private
hospital in Ajah area of Lagos
State are battling to save the
lives of three residents of
Alabeko Estate, who were
attacked, weekend, by thugs.
The thugs were alleged to
have been hired by a land
speculator in an attempt to
forcefully claim some
portions of land, some of
which already had structures
on them.
The thugs, as gathered,
stormed the estate at about
12.30p.m., when the
landlords were having a
meeting with landowners,
otherwise known as omo-
onile , whom they claimed
sold the portions of land to
them.
Some residents, who are
making moves to flee the
area over threat to their lives,
alleged that the attack was
supervised by a team of
Mobile Policemen from
MOPOL 23, Obalende, adding
that they (policemen)
allegedly fired canisters of
tear-gas at them and also
beat them with horse whip.
However, in a sharp reaction,
police sources described the
claim as false, hinting that
Police had to use tear gas to
disperse the rampaging
thugs.
When contacted, spokesman
for Lagos State Police
Command, Kenneth Nwosu
said: “Investigations are
ongoing to unravel what
transpired.
“The command is poised to
ensure that residents of
Alabeko and its environs
enjoy police protection like
other residents in Lagos
State.”
