Aina—Jagun Family appeals to Governor Sanwoolu
Aina—Jagun Family appeals to Governor Sanwoolu, Lagos Assembly to rescue them from tormentor sent by the Agbojojoye family over landed property
…….Described the Punch Newspaper publication on the 3rd of November report on Ibasha, Ijegun—Egba as false and misleading.
Sahara Weekly Reports That The family of Aina Jagun of Ijegun—Egba has appealed to Governor Babajide Sanwoolu and the Lagos State House of Assembly LASHA to rescue them from the family of Agbojojoye who has been threatening their lives with armed policemen and thugs after getting a local crown from Oriade local government area to become the Baale of Ijegun Egba area of Lagos state.
They also accused the Agbojojoye family of using both policemen and naval officers with thugs after dubiously getting a local crown from Oriade Local Government Area, They also accused the Agbojojoye family of Ibasa of using some uniform men of the Nigeria Navy and police force with some unknown hooligans to disrupt activities at the market and environment.
Over the years, It is in records that Ibasa has been victimizing the people of Ijegun—Egba and terrorizing their lives in a bid to take over Ijegun—Egba following the landscape of Ijegun Egba which riverine has separated them from one another, but the Ibasa people always invade Ijegun Egba to forcefully acquire their lands because Ibasa lands has been sold to the people leaving no other land left for them.
Hence , The Aina-Jagun Chieftaincy Family are the legal and rightful owners of all the expanse of land at Ijegun -Egba and which position hadbbeen confirmed in the Lagos State Archives and also in the Judgment delivered by Hon. Justice O. Atinuke Ipaye (Mrs.) on the 29th day of February, 2012 with Suit No: ID/697/1994 Between Prince Dele Ajiboye Vs. Mr. Adisa Olaewe & 6 Ors.
The Ijegun—Egba people have a shrine which is the traditional evidence that they are the rightful owner of the Ijegun—Egba and its environment, which is the more reason the Ibasa people want to take over the shrine and dominate the entire village, to actualize the dream, they secured the installation of a baale from Ibasa in Ijegun Egba with the assistance of Chairman of Oriade local government, which further exposed their level of desperation, they also build their Baale’s house right in front of the shrine to prevent the people of Ijegun—Egba from having access to the shrine and the entire village.
The Ibasa people according to the investigation have been victimizing the Ijegun people for decades because of their connection with the government of Lagos State and beyond.
Recently, to report about the invasion and the misconduct of the people in Ibasa for prompt intervention with unknown land grabbers suspected to be working for the Ibasa people with the help of the policemen arrested people without committing any offenses while some of them (Ijegun—Egba people) were sent to prison which made the concerned people petition the Inspector General of Police IGP and the Assistant Inspector General of Police, AIG Zone 2 Onikan to report about the invasion and the misconduct of the police in Ibasa for prompt intervention.
Our correspondent while conducting an in -depth investigation speaks with Hon.Ayinde Saheed,a former councilor of the ijegun constituency,also a son of the late Baale of ijegun/ ibasa who said the landed property belongs to the Aina Jagun family with documentation evidence.
Meanwhile, He described the newspaper publication on Punch newspaper on the 3rd of November 2023 reporting that the Aina Jagun invaded the Ijegun—Egba community with hoodlums as false information and sponsored. “HOW COULD WE POSSIBLY INVADE OUR OWN HOMES? the Agbojojoye family invaded ijegun egba community, we own Ijegun—Egba and they are from Ibasa.” The Ijegun—Egba were very peaceful without any activities of attack on any persons until the Navy officers and unknown hoodlums sent by the Agbojojoyefamily invaded tIjegun—Egbagba community and destroyed their shrine and laid siege on the community to forcefully take over the land that doesn’t belong to them.
He further noted that the Ibasa people cross the river which is the boundary between Ijegun and ibasa to trespass their land.
“Our grandfather sold the land to Alhaji Mutairu Owoeye when he was still a serving military personnel but to our surprise, the land was tampered with by the Agbojojoye family, there is a need for someone to react if his property is being tampered with and that is what brought about this media interview,” Said Ayinde Saheed.
Notable elders men and women in the community tripped out to testify to the ownership of the landed property while mentioning the atrocities committed by the police, naval officers, and hoodlums led by the members of the Agbojojoye family of Ibasa to forcefully take over our inheritance belonging to the Aina—Jagun family.
They appealed to Governor Babajide Sanwoolu, Lagos State House of Assembly, LASHA speaker, Rt. Honorable Mudashiru Obasa and the Inspector General of Police to come to their aid and investigate the matter and bring the culprit to book in other to restore peace and order in ijegun Egba and its environment.
More than ₦3 billion was targeted, but about ₦677 million reached the culprits, with recovery and prosecutions underway, reflecting how banks are responding to more sophisticated fraud risks.
Nigeria’s expanding digital banking sector is facing increasingly sophisticated fraud attempts, as financial institutions adapt to faster transactions and broader online services.
A recent case involving First City Monument Bank (FCMB), linked to fraudulent activity detected in December 2025, has drawn attention to how banks are responding to such incidents, with a focus on limiting exposure, recovering funds and working with law enforcement.
According to findings referenced in proceedings before the Lagos State Special Offences Court, the incident involved unauthorised transactions tied to a digital product. Early reports erroneously suggested more than ₦3 billion was lost. Subsequent clarification shows that over ₦3 billion was targeted, ₦2.4 billion was blocked and recovered, while ₦677 million got into the possession of the culprits. This outcome reflects the bank’s cyber security and monitoring capabilities, as well as improved collaboration among regulated financial institutions and with law enforcement agencies. Several suspects and beneficiaries have been apprehended, while recovery and prosecution efforts are ongoing, led by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Proceedings at the Lagos State Special Offences Court have resulted in convictions, including that of a repeat offender, with restitution orders issued. Related matters are also being handled at the Federal High Court in Lagos, where additional suspects are being tried in connection with the scheme. This process is aimed at ensuring that bad actors are identified and permanently blacklisted from the financial system.
Authorities say recovery efforts are continuing as additional funds are traced.
Analysts note that the pace of legal action reflects closer coordination between financial institutions and enforcement agencies in addressing cyber-related financial crime.
The case comes as banks contend with more complex fraud methods, including social engineering and automated exploitation of system processes.
As digital products and platforms expand, so too does the risk associated with cyber-crime and related fraud.
“The scale of digital banking means risks are evolving alongside the systems,” said a Lagos-based financial analyst. “Institutions are now judged by how they manage these events.”
Observers say the sector is moving toward a stronger focus on response and recovery, rather than prevention alone.
This includes improving monitoring capabilities, strengthening transaction controls and enhancing collaboration with regulators and law enforcement. The FCMB case, with limited exposure relative to the amount targeted and ongoing recovery, reflects that shift.
For customers, the primary concern is the safety of their funds. In this case, there has been no indication of losses affecting customer deposits. Maintaining that level of protection remains central to sustaining trust in the financial system.
Nigeria’s financial sector continues to grow, supported by digital innovation and expanding access to banking services.
However, analysts say fraud attempts are likely to persist as systems become more complex and interconnected.
They say institutions will increasingly be judged not only on their ability to prevent incidents, but on how effectively they respond and recover when they occur.

Ex-APC Deputy Guber flag bearer, Joshua MacIver backs Tinubu, express fears over implosion in Bayelsa APC
….congratulates new State Party Chairman, Warman Ogoriba
APC Deputy Governorship Candidate in the 2023 general elections in Bayelsa State, Great Joshua MacIver has declared his total commitment to the re-election of President Bola Tinubu come 2027, declaring that the Tinubu re-election project is non-negotiable.
Great Joshua MacIver, in his statement titled ” BAYELSA APC CONGRESSES: GOING FORWARD, A CALL TO LOOK INWARDS” and made available to newsmen in Yenagoa, warned APC leaders in the state to look Inward and take note of certain factors which may hinder or cut short our victory.
According to Great Joshua MacIver, such noticeable pitfalls include the imbalance in the united front being put up by the State Governor,Senator Douye Diri among various political blocs in the state.
In the statement issued at the weekend. Great Joshua MacIver stated that “First, before His Excellency, Senator Douye Diri, joined the APC in the state, there were clearly two political blocs that made up the party, with the approximate population ratios of the blocs standing at 95% to 5%.”
“After the entrance of His Excellency, Senator Douye Diri, ONLY THE SMALLER BLOC IS BEING CARRIED ALONG IN THE AFFAIRS OF THE PARTY, leaving the greater percentage to their fate, and this situation has the potential to build anger and dissatisfaction in our dear party.”
” The consequence of this has been the high level defection we have witnessed in the party recently and we believe more may likely follow, if we do not put our house in order.”
” If we do not pull together as a party, we may witness a situation where we will lose key stakeholders, especially after the State and National Assembly Primaries as well the Gubernatorial Primaries.”
“Finally, while it is very clear that we are the party to beat in the 2027 elections and that our loyalty to Mr. President IS NON-NEGOTIABLE, we must make haste to say that we cannot afford to create situations or loopholes in our unity which will be exploited by other political interests in the state. We cannot afford to under-rate anyone.”
“Our core interest remains the re-election of Mr. President, a project to which we have committed our all. We also pledge our total loyalty to the party as we have no alternative to the APC. However, our concern is that we must, as a party, look inwards and ensure that we do not create loopholes that can impede our common goal.”
Great Joshua MacIver, however congratulated the newly elected State Executives of the APC in Bayelsà State led by Hon. Warman Ogoriba, saying their emergence is welcomed at this critical time in our national history.
At least 23 people were killed in a series of suspected suicide bombings, police in Nigeria’s northeastern city of Maiduguri said on Tuesday.

More than 100 other people were injured in the blasts that took place on Monday evening in the capital of Nigeria’s restive Borno state.
No group has claimed responsibility for the suspected attacks.
The deadly blasts come after a military post was attacked overnight Sunday to Monday, which authorities blamed on suspected Islamist militants.
This sad incident is coming barely two weeks after Primate Elijah Ayodele, the Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church specifically warned against attacks in some states. He mentioned these states while calling on security operatives to pay close attention to them.
These were his words:
“Another attack is coming up in these following states where the military must watch carefully and intelligently; Kano, Kaduna, Zamfara, Kebbi, Niger, Borno, Kwara and Kogi state. They want to do a deadly attack, it’s preventable but it depends on how they will handle it. I have told you about the danger coming up.”
@primateayodele
Unfortunately, some of our military agencies don’t believe spiritual intelligence can save the country from so much danger hence, their neglect of this prophetic warning but now, it has been fulfilled with the miliary losing credibility by the day while Primate Ayodele continues to gain momentum.
Likewise, At least 26 passengers and crew sustained varying degrees of injuries on Monday following an accident involving the Kaduna–Abuja train, according to the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC).
Opeifa explained that the train departed Rigasa in Kaduna at 7:15 a.m. and was approaching Asham station around 9:16 a.m. when a loud bang was heard after the power car and trailing locomotive collided with one of the passenger coaches.
In July 2025, Primate Ayodele asked nigerians to pray not to see train mishap on the Kaduna-Abuja route.
@primateayodele #nigeriantiktok🇳🇬 #fulfillment #train #abuja #primateayodele
“Let’s pray not to see train mishap in Abuja-Kaduna, Kaduna-Abuja route.”
This has also been fulfilled.
