6 Suspects Arrested For Destruction Of Properties, Contempt Of Court In Ogun Community 

P.M.EXPRESS reports that the suspects were identified as Ogunedina Daniel, Oyinloye Oduloye, Sambic Taye, Oluwasegun Olukoya, Akeem Rufai and Ojo Lukman.

They allegedly embarked on malicious demolition of people’s houses in the Abe Agbonyi village despite an order of the judge of a competent jurisdiction in the state.

It was gathered that the arrest of the suspects followed a petition to the Attorney General/ Commissioner for Justice of Ogun State by the Alase  Ogunbajo Family.

A joint operation by the operatives of the Ogun State Task Force on Land Grabbing, Sagamu Area Command and Sotubo Divisional Police Station led to the arrest of the suspects following a heavy deployment of heavily armed thugs at the site.

The family had some days ago approached an Ogun State High Court sitting in Sagamu and presided over by Justice A. A. Adewole to stop further trespass on its family land in the aforementioned village.

The judge, while granting the prayer of the claimants, ordered that “UPON THE ORAL APPLICATION of S. O. Giwa, Esq., counsel to the claimants to order both parties, their agents, privies and assigns to maintain the status quo and refrain from carrying out any further activities on the land in dispute pending the final determination of this suit.

“In the light of the fact that both parties have pending applications for Interlocutory Injunction, and in consideration of the submission and application of learned counsel to both parties in that regard, all parties in this suit, their privies, agents and assigns are hereby ordered to maintain the status quo as at today regarding the land in dispute.”

“Parties, along with their privies, agents and assigns shall refrain from carrying out any further activities on the land in dispute from this day,” the judge ordered.

He further ordered that, “Parties are also ordered to file processes showing the present status of the land for the purpose of giving effect to the order of this Court that status quo be maintained regarding the said land.”

The letter to the Attorney General from the family lawyer, B.A. Shaji & Associates read,  “We act as Legal Practitioners to the Alase Ogunbajo Family (our clients hereinafter) on whose firm instructions we write this petition”.

The family informed the Ogun Attorney General that, “Honourable Justice A.A. Adewole, after hearing both parties, granted an interlocutory order mandating all parties, their privies, agents and assign to refrain from carrying out any further activities on the land in dispute from the said date of 20 day of January, 2026”.

“To show the level at which the order of court for status quo is to be maintained, parties were also ordered to file processes showing the present status of the land for the purpose of giving effect to the order of the Honourable Court that status quo be maintained regarding the said land.”

“However, to the chagrin of our clients, more than six (6) days after the said order was made, the other party has not only refused to comply with same but has boasted openly that nothing will happen and has continued with construction work on the said land even as we write and maliciously destroyed our clients’ properties.” the family lamented.

They therefore, pleaded, “Respectfully sir, we humbly seek your kind attention and necessary action to prevent a perversion of justice and to bring the suspects to book where their criminal conducts are established”.
