The Police in Lagos Monday paraded three men alleged to be land grabbers.

The suspects, Igbokun Ogunkoya, 40, Ayoola Ahmed, 20 and Lateef Alase, 44 were arrested on Sunday at Alade village in Ikeja.

They were alleged to have forcibly entered and willfully damaged a property before detectives rounded them up based on tip off.

But the suspects who denied the allegations against them, said they were contracted by the owner of the property, one Abayomi, to excavate an abandoned foundation.

According to Ogunkoya who spoke on behalf of the three, he was a registered contractor and invited the other two to work for him after the said Abayomi contracted him for the job.

Parading the suspects, Police Commissioner, Fatai Owoseni said the command will use them as example against land grabbers.

He said this was to demonstrate the command’s resolve to completely stamp out the madness of land grabbers.

The law against land grabbing will be strictly enforced and the command will work in unison with the Taskforce established to contain the menace.

The suspects will be arraigned in court.”
