Ayobo land grabbing mess : Pastor Femi Adebayo Exonerated As Culprit Gets Exposed
Following some media publications that pointed Pastor Femi
Adebayo’s involvement in the land grabbing mess in Ayobo area of Lagos that saw
violence and injuries being inflicted on several individuals, the truth of the
matter has been exposed.
In the publications, Pastor Femi Adebayo, the General Overseer
of Endtime Heavenly Revival Ministry, was said to have employed thugs to attack
some property owners in Ayobo, meanwhile, reverse is the case.
In an interview carried out by this publication with the
head of Olalore family, Alhaji Ambali Olalore, who is in charge of properties
in the community, it was revealed that a prominent tormentor, Chief Morufu
Aremu Owonla, Popularly known as ‘Kaka’ is behind the mischiefs recently seen
in the community.
Going down memory lane, he explained that trouble started
when his family decided to discontinue a contract they had with Chief Morufu
‘Kaka’ after he failed to fulfil his part of the contract.
He made it known that ‘Kaka’ is just a resident in Ayobo who
was introduced to his family when they needed sponsor to execute a judgment by
the government. He was contacted to sponsor the execution, with an agreement of
60/40% on money made which wasn’t later actualized due to his faults.
‘Ayobo is peaceful, the only problem is chief Morufu Aremu
Owonla AKA Kaka. He took thugs to Amule, Apata, Onikonga, Asipa, Megida, others
over Ilogbo land in Ayobo.
Against the several media publications, I am the family head of Olalere and we
have done several good to Ayobo, Kaka owns the thugs that have been disturbing,
you can ask everyone in these towns, AIG Zone 2 once declared him wanted but he
eloped oversea.
We once had a relationship with him, he lives in Ayobo but
we no longer have that relationship, we went to him to sponsor an execution for
us due to financial challenges, we went to him but he didn’t later fulfil his
part, rather he caused trouble for us, we then went to our lawyer to legally
discontinue the contract in 2015
We don’t owe him, we had an agreement of 40/60 with him but
he didn’t even fulfil his part, he went ahead to sell lands out father had sold
while we were still young, we were not part of it’’
On Pastor Femi Adebayo’s involvement, Chief Ambali noted
that the cleric is like a younger brother to him, and he is known as a pastor
in the community, declaring that no one in Ayobo can accuse him of anything
that has to do with violence.
‘There is nothing like Pastor Femi Adebayo bringing in thugs, though he is like
a younger brother to me, we have been together for years, I don’t know why he
is being mentioned, it’s just slander, he is not involved at all.
Pastor Adebayo is not a tout, He isn’t involved in all this,
I know him as a pastor and nothing more’’
Furthermore, several individuals have lamented their ordeals
with Chief Kaka. They explained how he treated them, while blaming the police
for not giving justice to the situation on ground.
In an interview with Adebayo Semiu, a former staff of Chief
Kaka who left him after much pressure from his family, he made it known that
Chief Kaka tried to kill him after he decided to quit working for him.
Also, he made some clarifications about claims that he works
for Pastor Femi Adebayo, noting that such never happened. He also spoke on the
claims the pastor Femi Adebayo inflicted an injury on one of Chief Kaka’s
thugs, describing it as fals
‘‘I once worked for Alhaji Kaka, at a time I told him I am
no longer interested in working again, after this, he ordered his boys to come
and attack me on the road, they hit me with hammer, they were with guns and
cutlass, if anybody doesn’t believe, he can ask those living in Ayobo, I worked
with him for over 10 years.
Those in the publication are Ponle Tyson, we worked together
alongside Pumping, Tunde Micheal, Afeez Majiyagbe, and others.
I don’t work with Pastor Femi Adebayo, I saw Ponle Tyson on
the paper saying Pastor Femi Adebayo organized boys to give him injury, the
injury on him was gotten in Oshodi while I was still working with Alhaji Kaka
five years ago’’
Also, the daughter of the former social secretary of Nigeria
sporter club, Surveyor Benjamin Ogunbo had her case to share. The
lady, Kehinde Daramola explained that Chief Kaka encroached into their father’s
house to start building on it.
‘I am Kehinde daramola, Daughter of late surveryor Benjamin
Ogunbo, former social secretary of Nigeria sporter club, he has a two plots of
land in Onibeji Ayobo, we got a call from our neighbors that land
grabbers are on our land, we went to police station to report, the DPO asked us
to maintain status quo till the following Monday, but when we got there on
Monday, they have started foundation and building on the land, since he DPO
couldn’t do anything, we had to report at the Zone 2, yet nothing was done.
We also wrote a petition to the lagos state government but
we are yet to get anything, we got to know its Mr Kaka that is behind it, we
met him at the police station and he said there is nothing anyone can do, he
encroached on our land, broke our fence and started building on it
We still have tenants living there, we can’t even go there because he is after our lives.’

IPMAN: Setting the Record Straight
The Dangote Petroleum Refinery wishes to clarify that it has not received any payments from the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) to purchase refined petroleum products.
Although discussions are ongoing with IPMAN, it is misleading to suggest that they (IPMAN Members) are experiencing difficulties loading refined products from our Petroleum Refinery, as we currently have no direct business dealings with them. Consequently, we cannot be held responsible for any payments made to other entities.
The payment in mention has been made through the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), and not us. In the same vein, NNPCL has neither approved, nor authorised us to release our Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) to IPMAN.
We would like to emphasise that we can meet the nation’s demand for all petroleum products, including petrol, diesel, and aviation fuel. At present, we can load 2,900 trucks per day and we have also been evacuating petroleum products by sea. We advise IPMAN to register with us and make direct payment as we have more than enough petroleum products to satisfy the needs of their members.
Furthermore, we believe it is instructive for all stakeholders to refrain from making unfounded statements in the media, as that could undermine the economic re-engineering efforts of His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Conducting business through public speculation is counterproductive and unpatriotic.
In the interest of our country, we encourage all stakeholders to collaborate and heed the advice of President Tinubu, while promoting a unified approach, rather than engaging in media conflicts and needless propaganda.
