Alleged Land Grabber, Bashiru Fakorede, Strikes Again In Epe As Police Arrests Modupe Oni Orisan,Others

Aare Bashiru Fakorede, also known as “Bashy Ajagungbale,” who is alleged to be a renowned and notorious land grabber, has extended his land grabbing activities to the Epe axis, specifically targeting the Oko Orisan village.

This village is said to have been gazetted by the Lagos State Government to various families, including the Oko Orisan, Oni Orisan, and Obadimeji Oshodi families.

Fakorede, infamous for his exploits in Ajiran communities, has allegedly partnered with a faction of the Oni Orisan family, exploiting his expertise in land grabbing.

In a recent development, Fakorede accused of manipulating the Lagos State High Court to issue an unlawful execution order.

This order, facilitated by the court’s sheriff, targeted Oko Orisan village based on a judgment (Suit No: M/762/2012) that had already been executed in 2023.

Fakorede’s actions highlight his desperation and cunning in land grabbing.

Fakorede has also involved Dr. Muiz Banire, SAN, a reputable Senior Advocate of Nigeria, to lend credibility to his schemes.

Unbeknownst to Banire, Fakorede has allegedly been leveraging his influence to solicit support from top police officers, including DIG Abiodun Alabi and DCP SWAT, to stall any investigations into his activities.

Aare Bashiru Fakorede claimed to have history of using legal and police apparatus to further his land grabbing activities.

He previously arrested some youths from Oju Ota Village at Alagbon, pressuring them to implicate Saheed Ibile falsely.

Fakorede’s manipulation of the legal system is evident in his engagement of influential legal figures and police officers to mislead and stall investigations.

Fakorede’s recent actions involve the demolition of perimeter fences on lands owned by Harmony Gardens and Estate Development Limited.

Despite a Federal High Court order restraining Fakorede and the police from interfering with these properties, Fakorede continues his illegal activities, causing significant losses for Harmony Gardens.

Fakorede’s alleged tactics include creating factions within families and communities, offering bribes to sow discord, and strategically hijacking properties sold to innocent investors.

This strategy was evident in the Oju-Ota Gazette land case, where Fakorede conspired with Modupe Oni Orisan and Ade Dosunmu to feign ignorance of the sale of land to Harmony Gardens, which was legally acquired from the Oko Orisan, Oni Orisan, and Obadimeji Oshodi families.

Harmony Gardens and Estate Development Limited legally acquired the land through a deed of assignment executed by Pa Moshood Babatunde Oni Orisan, the head of the Oni Orisan family.

Despite this, Fakorede continues to claim representation of the Oni Orisan family, misleading authorities and violating court orders.

The public is urged to recognize the plight of affected communities and the manipulations by Fakorede and his cohorts.

The Inspector General of Police, DIG Force CID, CP Lagos, and the Lagos State Government are called upon to investigate Fakorede and his associates, ensuring that the law prevails against land grabbing activities.

Fakorede’s activities have led to significant losses for Harmony Gardens, including the theft of payloaders worth 180 million Naira.

The call for justice extends to preventing further violations of property rights and protecting the interests of legitimate landowners and investors.

However, Reports have surfaced that on Monday, 22nd July 2024, Modupe Oni Orisan, accompanied by police officers from Zone 2 and hoodlums, led an attack on the property of Harmony Gardens and Estates Development Ltd.

The group caused extensive damage, with estimates exceeding one billion naira.

The situation escalated when irate youths from Oko Orisan apprehended Modupe Oni Orisan and the hoodlums, handing them over to the CP Lagos crack team.

During the altercation, the Zone 2 police officers overseeing the forceful takeover fled the scene.

Upon arrival, the estate owner, Hon. Dr. Saheed Mosadoluwa urged the youths to avoid taking the law into their own hands and to allow the police to handle the situation.

The extent of the damages inflicted by the hoodlums is currently estimated at over one billion naira.
