GROUP SEEKS IGP KAYODE EGBETOKUN'S INTERVENTION OVER LAND TUSSLE !

A certain civil society organization known as Centre for Human Rights and Social Justice CHRSJ has sought the intervention of the Inspector General of Police Kayode Egbetokun in addressing a critical issue. 

In a media chat with the press, the group emphatically told journalists that 

it is important to note that they followed the due process as per the ethics of journalism by calling the officer that sent the invitation letter to Mr. Sunday Osunba and asking the Officer about his identity but he didn't disclose his identity but allegedly said that when Mr. Sunday Osunba is coming to the Zone 2 X- Squad Police command he should come with a very good lawyer. 

Check out the details in the letter below:

Monday June 16th 2025.

 *THE INSPECTOR GENERAL OF POLICE;* Sir,* 

 *PETITION AGAINST O/C ZONAL X- SQUAD, NIGERIA POLICE FORCE ZONE II, ONIKAN LAGOS.* 

Our Organization's major objective is to protect the citizens of this country against any form of human rights abuse, and to complement the Constitutional duties and responsibilities of every law maintaining agency of the Government ditto discouraging corrupt practices and it's perpetrators. 

A thorough understanding of the legal power accruable to your organisation as enshrined in *section 214 of the CONSTITUTION OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA (1999) as Amended*, is the essence of this petition. 

Our client Mr. SUNDAY OSUNBA (Phone: 08136457547) is a law abiding citizen of the Federal Republic of Nigeria resident in Adunbo Osunba Compound, Ilogbo Eremi, Badagry Local Government Area, Lagos State.

Our client declared that he is not involved in any Financial, communal or transactional dispute with ANYBODY 

Our client declared that he does not have any unresolved matter at any police formation whatsoever. 

Baring the aforesaid, it is very appalling and disheartening to note that some officers of the Nigerian Police are allowing themselves to be used as instruments of harassment and intimidation, especially when it involves hapless citizens. 

Our client was taken aback and flabbergasted when he got an invitation from the Office of the Assistant Inspector General of Police (Zone 2) Onikan signed by ACP EDINO J. OJALI (08066510444) the O/c ZONAL X-SQUAD. Copy of invitation letter is hereby attached. It is noteworthy to say the invitation was sent via WhatsApp number *08089402672* by a police officer who refused to disclose his identity when we called him from our office for fact finding. The officer only said our client should come with a good lawyer.

*Our client however became apprehensive at that point and disclosed his suspicion.*   

*Our client said the following individuals viz Adisa Zuve (08035792957), Biodun Sekoto and Bose Sesi Sekoto have been attempting to encroach into his inherited land spanning over hundred acres but that since they have not done so, he needed not bother.*

*However, since the invitation had been sent via WhatsApp, Adisa Zuve has been entering the said land and threatening the occupants with looming eviction.*

Our prayers:

1. In the light of Section 32(2) of the Police Act 2020 and Section 8(2) of The Administrative of Criminal Justice Act 2015 and various court pronouncements, the officers should be reminded that land matters are purely civil in perspective. 

2. The officers should be instructed to advise whoever brought such matter to them to seek redress in the appropriate quarters; which is, a court of competent jurisdiction. 

3. The officers should be instructed to advise the Adisa Zuve to stop committing trespass by entering our client's land and threatening the occupants with eviction.

4. The officers should be made to understand that adjudication in civil matters is primarily the responsibility of the court and our client should be allowed to prove ownership in court.

5. The officers should be made to know that since the Police can not usurp the powers of the court, and there is no established dispute, no investigation is necessary to have warranted the invitation.

6. That the officers should steer clear of the matter since it is civil in nature and the fundamental human rights of our client should be respected. 

it's in pursuance of the aims and objectives earlier stated that made us file this Petition to your reputable and respectful offices to intervene in this matter, as we absolutely rely and believe that your offices intervention is imperative and inevitable at this material time for the peace, sanity and stable mental health of our client who is a fellow citizen of the federal republic of Nigeria.

In View of this, we count on the powerful capabilities of your good offices to expedite the necessary actions within the ambit of the law and give our client the necessary reprieve as soon as possible. .
