Angry Youths Batter Estate Agent
An estate agent, Otunba Kehinde Adeosun, has been battered by angry youths in Abule -Egba area of Lagos State, southwest Nigeria, for allegedly storming the area with thugs to remove the roofs, doors and windows of their houses.
Apart from the estate agent, the suspected thugs also vandalised the house of a local chief who had to flee the area to avoid being attacked.
As at the time of filing this report, Adeosun is nursing his broken skull at a private hospital in the area.
According to eyewitnesses' report, the clash followed a land dispute which had lingered for many years in the area but was recently resolved by a Supreme Court judgement, affirming the Iyorun Family of Awori Abule-Egba as the rightful owner of the controversial land.
However, it was alleged that some of the landlords who occupied the land refused to comply with the court judgment.
Trouble began between Adeosun and the youths when he was contracted by Iyorun Family to carry out the development of the landed property after the family won the court case.
He was also mandated by the family to ask occupants of the land to pay N6 million for the ratification of ownership of their houses on the land.
It was alleged that Adeosun with some thugs went to the area to vandalise the houses of those he considered to have defied the court judgment.
And in annoyance, the youths in the community mobilized and went to the agent’s house to attack him and his son.
While speaking on his hospital bed, Adeosun said: “I was asked to manage the property and most of the landlords occupying the land have paid for the ratification of their houses, including a retired Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG). Those who are now fomenting trouble are the ones that refused to pay.
“Instead of them to comply, they went to employ the services of Prince Adedipe Ewenla, another estate agent, who led over a hundred of thugs to attack me and my son with guns and broken bottles. They also went away with the money inside
