Mr. Ibile Vindicated As Court Remands Hired Assassin, Samsudeen Oluwo Engaged By Land Grabber, Murphy Adebare Topaz

P.M.EXPRESS reports that the Court also ordered further investigation into the masterminds behind the plot to be brought to book.

It will be recalled that few months ago, Hon. Saheed Mosadoluwa, popularly known as Mr. Ibile, raised concerns about the unlawful activities of land grabbers on a property owned by his company at Eyin-Osa area of Lagos State.

The suspects, including Samsudeen Oluwo a.k.a Ese Olobo and Sunday Olabayo, were allegedly engaged by Murphy Adebare Ademoye, a.k.a Topaz, to assassinate Mr. Ibile and forcefully take possession of his company’s properties.

On Tuesday, 21st  November, 2023, before His Honor, B.A. Sonuga, at Court 2, Igbosere, Lagos, the Court held a session to address the charges against the defendants. Among them were Sunday Olabayo, Lawal Ibrahim Adefemi, Gbenga Demurin, Idowu Mujaheed, Samsudeen Oluwo, and Dare Majekodunmi.

Notably, the Court discharged and acquitted Lawal Ibrahim Adefemi, Idowu Mujaheed, Dare Majekodunmi, and Gbenga Demorin based on the advice of the Directorate of Public Prosecutions (DPP) of the Attorney-General of Lagos State.

However, the Court ruled that Samsudeen Oluwo, a.k.a Ese-olobo, who granted Saharareporters and Gistlover viral interviews claiming dehumanization by Mr. Ibile and Sunday Olabayo should be remanded in prison custody pending further legal proceedings.

In a letter with reference number CB:3510/X/FHQ/ ABJ/PPRO/VOL.11/96, the legal advice from the DPP highlighted that there was sufficient evidence to establish a prima facie case of conspiracy and unlawful possession of firearms against Shamsudeen Oluwo and Olabayo. The charges also included wilful damage to property and forcible possession.

The Court’s decision vindicated Hon. Saheed Mosadoluwa, who had previously raised alarm over the nefarious activities of the accused individuals. Eyin Osa land owners claimed that Murphy Adebare had the backing of the AIG Idowu Owohunwa and CSP Shola Jejeloye of the Lagos State Task Force, who they allegedly took advantage of their offices to obstruct justice and favour the land grabbers.

Adewole Apena claimed that his family formed part of the resettlement land owners who sold the land to Saheed Mosadoluwa and said despite attempts to discredit him and withdraw his company’s mobile guards and his personal security, thank God that Mr. Ibile stood his ground and defended himself against the assassination attempt and we all the land owners thank God for the Court’s ruling that supports Mosadoluwa claims and exposed the lies of the accused hired assassin,  who posted a doctored video on social media claiming dehumanization and ownership of the land.

However, the DPP recommended a follow-up investigation into Murphy Adebare Ademoye (Topaz), Sule Razak (Success), Lawo Oyewole (Fake General), and Kamoru Lamina (Sir K) for their alleged involvement in orchestrating the criminal activities.

The case was adjourned to 23rd January, 2024, for mention, and the Attorney General’s office was advised to pursue the necessary legal processes at the High Court of Lagos State.

This legal development marks a significant victory for justice, emphasizing the consequences for land grabbers and those involved in criminal activities. Hon. Saheed Mosadoluwa’s stand against the illegal takeover of the property is now reinforced by the Court’s decision, setting a precedent for accountability in such cases.
