The Magistrate Court in Oyingbo Ebute-Metta, Lagos, has taken firm action in response to accusations of land grabbing involving Alhaji Sulaimon of Okun-Ajah, Eti-Osa, Lagos State, and others.
Alhaji Sulaimon is accused of intentionally damaging properties valued at N15,000,000.00 meant for an orphanage and disabled children, owned by Mrs. Faith Ojo, an American-based Nigerian businesswoman.
Despite Zone 2 Police efforts, Sulaimon and his accomplices evaded capture, while investigations are ongoing.
Lateef Lawal, alleged co-conspirator and husband of actress Lizzy Anjorin, reportedly escaped arrest in Ikoyi on February 5, 2024, while an associate was apprehended and sent to prison.
The case has entered the Lagos High Court for civil redress in two suits: SUIT NO: LD/14340LMW/2023 BETWEEN ALHAJI BOLAJI SULAIMON & 3 ORS VS MRS. FAITH OJO and SUIT NO: LD/14515LMW/2023 BETWEEN MRS. FAITH OJO VS CHIEF RASHEED OLUKOSI & 7 ORS.
Despite legal proceedings, the defendants in the Magistrate Court, allegedly linked to Lizzy Anjorin’s husband, reportedly continue land-grabbing activities in Lagos State.
While bail conditions for the property damage suspect are pending, his co-conspirator remains in custody at the Ikoyi Custodial Centre.
There are additional claims that actress Liz Anjorin is discreetly using her celebrity status to secure the suspect’s release from prison.
