Operatives of the Ogun State Police Command have arrested a notorious land grabber in the state, Sulaimon Adelakun, for his alleged involvement in illegal possession of firearms and breaching public peace.
Adelakun was said to have been operating freely in the Mowe in Obafemi/Owode and Atan-Ota in Ado-Odo/Ota local government areas of the state, respectively.
According to Vanguard, the State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Omolola Odutola, confirmed the arrest to newsmen on Friday.
Odutola said the arrest was made in response to complaints from residents who had been subjected to threats and attacks by Adelakun and his cohorts.
Odutola said, “Yes, a notorious land grabber, Sulaimon Adelakun, was arrested by police yesterday (Thursday) at Atan Ota for attacking people on their land, but no life was lost.”
The suspect had previously faced arrest on two separate occasions for similar charges, only to be released by law enforcement authorities.
