Segun Sunday, a Togolese, has been arrested in connection with land grabbing, alongside Ben Micheal, 31; Segun Muda, 58; and 20-year-old Toheeb Ololade, in Oko-Olomi, in the Ibeju-Lekki area of Lagos state.
Micheal hails from Owo, Ondo State, while Oladele is from Oje, Oyo State. Muda, the ringleader, who was said to be a baale in a community in Ibeju-Lekki, is an indigene of the Epe area of Lagos State.
Two locally-made guns were reportedly recovered from the suspects. The baale had reportedly owned up to the crime and sought clemency. The arrest followed a petition addressed to the Lagos State Committee on Land Grabbing by residents of the affected community.
The dwellers had complained about the unlawful invasion of their property to the committee, asking the government to come against the hoodlums.
