Land Speculator’s Defiance: A Tale of Alleged Extortion, Intimidation and Police Complicity

By Ifeoma Ikem

A notorious land speculator in Lagos State, Saheed Mosadoluwa, alias “Ibile,” has declared war on the police, alleging widespread extortion and harassment. Mosadoluwa’s bold declaration has sparked a heated debate about police corruption and accountability in Nigeria.

At the center of the controversy is Mosadoluwa’s claim that police officers demanded N150 million as bribe from him, supposedly on behalf of Inspector General of Police Kayode Egbetokun, over a land dispute in Ibeju-Lekki.

He also alleges that police officers from Zone 2 Command, Onikan, Lagos, falsely accused him of kidnapping, gun running, and murder without inviting him to defend himself.

Mosadoluwa’s grievances were aired on social media platform Tiktok, where he vowed never to pay bribes again and challenged the police to produce a genuine warrant of arrest. “I will not pay you one kobo again since you people don’t have respect for the rule of law,” he stated.

However, police sources dispute Mosadoluwa’s claims, stating that he was declared wanted after failing to respond to invitations to answer allegations in a petition.

The police maintain that Mosadoluwa’s allegations are unfounded and aimed at deflecting attention from his own wrongdoing.

Further investigation reveals a history of violence and intimidation by Mosadoluwa, including a bloody encounter with the Oni-Orisan family, whose matriarch, Chief Mrs. Dupe Oni-Orisan Damazio, was kidnapped and manhandled over a land dispute.

Eyewitnesses and victims describe Mosadoluwa as a notorious land grabber, terrorising landowners and dispossessing them of their land. His alleged connections to top police officers have emboldened him, allowing him to boast that no one can stop him.

The police hierarchy has launched an investigation into Mosadoluwa’s claims of police involvement in the land scandal. As the probe continues, authorities are working to verify his allegations and address the situation.

The incident has sparked renewed calls for reform and accountability within the police force. Nigerians are demanding an end to corruption and extortion, which have become entrenched in the country’s law enforcement system.

As the standoff between Mosadoluwa and the police continues, one thing is clear: the people of Lagos will no longer tolerate impunity and corruption. The time for change has come.
