Residents of the Powerline area along Osogbo, Ikirun road, Osogbo, have called on Governor Ademola Adeleke to intervene over alleged forceful entry to their land by land grabbers and hoodlums.
Addressing a press conference in Osogbo on Wednesday, Mr Sola Omidiran, flanked by community leaders, accused Mrs Mistura Busari, Lekan Alabi, and other hoodlums of conduct that could likely cause a breach of peace in the area.
They, therefore, called particularly on security agencies in the state to investigate what they referred to as gross violations of their rights and avoid using them against law-abiding residents of the area who have lived on the land for over 40 years.
His words: “Sometime in April, 2025, one Mrs Mistura Busari, leading some other people, stormed the land and began to destroy and deface some of the structures on the land, claiming to be armed with a court order/judgment in Suit No: Hos/M.206/2024 Between Mrs Mistura Busari v. Hepzibah Holdings Ltd by Justice A. O. Oyebiyi to level execution on the land and other people’s properties.
“Following these revelations, some of us, being law-abiding citizens, hurriedly instituted a suit to set aside the purported order/judgment. On 3rd June, 2025, the court sat on the matter and consolidated the suits with others.
“On that 3rd June, 2025 an interim order to halt the execution was sought for and the Judge Hon. A. O. Oyebiyi expressly granted the Interim Order staying further Execution of the Writ of Possession pending the determination of all the applications already filed and later adjourned the matter to 13th June, 2025, a certified true copy of the court order is available here for the press and public”.
In her reaction through her counsel, Lekan Alabi, Mrs Mistural Alabi said she has legal documents to back the land ownership, adding that her mother acquired the land long ago.
