A 45-year old notorious land grabber and suspected hired killer, Ojo Adesola, has confessed to the police that he was not an armed robber rather his gang offer services to clients who want to kill their rivals in Lagos and Ogun States.

P.M.EXPRESS reports that Adesola made the confession after he was arrested by the police in Alagbado area of Lagos while conveying vehicle loaded with arms for killing operations at Epe area of Lagos.

The Ogun State-born Adesola said they offer other services like land grabbing, by assisting their clients to recover and take possession of lands from the owners once they were hired to do so.

This was disclosed by the Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Bala Elkana on behalf of the Commissioner of Police.

He said that on 21st June, 2019, at about 7am, acting on credible Intelligence, surveillance patrol team from Alagbado Police Station arrested one Ojo Adesola, 45.  The suspect was flagged down by the surveillance team while conveying arms in a white bus, along Amikanle area, Alagbado.
DSP Elkana said that four locally made rifles and 38 rounds of live cartridges were recovered from the bus. The suspect who hails from Ogun State belonged to a notorious gang of land grabbers and hired killers terrorizing Ogun and Lagos states.

“They act as war lords, waiting to be hired by anyone who can pay for their services to take over lands by force. They engaged in series of killings and maiming of land owners.”

Adesola had confessed that they were hired by someone to dislodge land owners at Epe and that he was on his way to pick the other members of the gang for the operation before he was arrested. Police are on the trail of five other members of his gang who are at large. Investigation is ongoing.
