A businessman, Otunba Hassan Alli, has charged the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, alongside other law enforcement agencies to ensure the prosecution of an alleged land grabber, Moroof Owonla, popularly known as 'Kaka Moroof', over his purported involvement in the unlawful invasion of properties situated at No. 34, Ferguson Osagie Street, Ayobo and No. 2, Peace Street, Ayobo, Lagos State.
Otunba Alli particularly accused the suspected land grabber of forcefully taking over his hotel at Ayobo with a fake judgment with the Suit no ID/1722/92, between Chief Arimiyau Bello Ekundayo and Taiwo Ogunbiyi & 12 others.
The purported judgment and the survey plan relied on by 'Kaka Moroof', according to Alli, had no correlation or nexus with his lands and hotel at Ferguson Osagie Street, Ayobo, Lagos.
According to his letter dated July 10, 2023, and addressed to the Senate President, Attorney General of the Federation & Minister of Justice, Inspector General of Police, the Governor of Lagos State, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the Attorney General of Lagos State & Commissioner for Justice, the Lagos State House of Assembly, alongside others, Otunba Alli is requesting for the prompt prosecution of the suspected land grabber and his purported cohorts for terrorism, force entry, land grabbing, unlawful invasion and taking over, threat to the lives and properties of innocent landowners within Ayobo community.
Otunba Alli had further alleged that the suspected land grabber in his desperate, but unsuccessful bid to forcefully steal and grab his hotel had on August 5, 2022, broken into his hotel, chased away workers inside the 33 rooms hotel capacity almost at the completion stage and forcefully took over.
The businessman equally alleged that the suspected land grabber looted his properties worth N33.6 million kept in a hotel for completion of the ongoing construction work.
Otunba Alli said, “Moroof Aremu Owonla (Kaka Moroof) did not only commit illegal actions and atrocities but deliberately impersonates himself as the Sheriff of Ikeja High Court by inscribing “Possession was taken 2nd May 2008 ID/1722/92, CA/L/30/06, CA/L/16/M/04”, on his hotel at No. 34, Ferguson Osagie Street, Ayobo, Lagos State, on August 5, 2022.
“Upon my application for confirmation from the High Court, Ikeja, Sheriff section, it was discovered upon search by the court that Suit no: ID/1722/92 was not found on their record for execution on the court’s system.
"I am fortified with a copy of Lagos State Judiciary's reply to my letter of request dated November 7, 2022, with Ref No: LAS/312455/Vol XXII/136.
“Moroof in his usual desperate bid to forcefully take over my hotel and dispossess me of my hotel, wrote a frivolous petition to Force C.I.D Annex, Alagbon, Lagos State, and the case was assigned to General Investigation Section, (GI) headed by DCP Shiek Danko who with his team investigated the case and arrested six thugs deployed to my hotel by Moroof including one of his ally, Ganiyu Aminu.
“They were arraigned before Court 1, Yaba on December 8, 2022, vide Charge No: A/80/22.
Meanwhile, the suspected land grabber has a pending case against him before Justice A. M Oluyemi of the High Court of Lagos State, Ikeja, in suit no: ID/1081/12, wherein he is facing contempt and committal proceedings.
In the suit, 'Kaka Moroof' is said to have forcefully entered and demolished a property beside Ayobo Police Station covered by a court judgment delivered by Justice Oluyemi on November 18, 2018.
A warrant of arrest has since been issued against 'Kaka Moroof' and he had continued to evade the service of Form 48, despite repeated calls put across to him by the Sheriff of the Ikeja High Court.
The case was then adjourned until September 20, or he would be charged for contempt.
