Read Time:1 Minute, 56 Second
Tension has gripped the Isinkan community, headquarters of Akure West LCDA in Ondo State, as suspected land grabbers, armed with dangerous weapons, reportedly disrupted an ongoing housing project.
According to reports, about ten individuals stormed the site in a convoy, drove away workers, and allegedly destroyed equipment.
Sources claim the intruders acted on the orders of the Deji of Akureland, Oba Aladelusi Aladetoyinbo.
The Secretary of the families owning the land, Mr. Akin Akinwumi, stated that the property belongs to the descendants of late Chief Akin Agbi, Pa Fanibuyan, and Akinwumi.
“This land has been in our family for over 500 years, granted to our forefathers by the Iralepo of Isinkan,” he explained. “We conducted a perimeter survey, laid out the property, and sold it to PWAN Homes Ltd. as part of a development project.
“I was shocked when the developer reported that thugs from the Deji’s palace had invaded the site. What concern does the Deji have with a legitimate sale of property? This interference is unwarranted.”
The Iralepo of Isinkan, Oba Oluwagbemiga Olofin-Adimula, condemned the alleged disruption, urging the Ondo State Police Command to investigate and bring the culprits to justice.
“This is not the first time we’ve faced such intimidation,” said the monarch. “The Deji of Akureland is undermining peace in the state capital. Land disputes are civil matters and should be resolved in court, not through violence and thuggery.”
