Akowonwado Family, Naked Women Confront Police In Ogun
Pa Solomon Odutola, head of the Akowonwado family, has cried out to IGP Kayode Egbetokun, the Inspector General of Police and CP Lanre Ogunlowo, the Ogun State Commissioner of Police, for immediate intervention and rescue from Men of the Agbara Area Police Command led by CSP Olushola Oniyiku, Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Atan Police Division and Insp. Longe Richard of the same Division who allegedly carried out an early morning invasion of Saari, Erinle and Okiki-Ilu villages in the Atan area of Ogun State, with suspected group of land grabbers on Monday.
The officers who were alleged to be shooting sporadically, went round the villages looking for members of the family over land matters that was judged in their favour by a valid Supreme Court judgement in 2014, making the family members to flee the sight of the invading policemen.
Pa Solomon stressed that family members had to run for dear lives on Monday, because of the several arrests, detentions, injuries that had kept many of them hospitalised and in prison remands, prompting some elderly women in the villages to protest nakedly, expressing their bitterness over the incessant troubling by Men of the Atan Police Division.
Chief Elijah Adeogun, the Akogun of Saari Village and a Principal member of the family while corroborating the assertions of Pa Solomon, said the Akowonwado family is the rightful owners of the disputed land, comprising seven villages of Oko-omi, Saari, Erinle, Okiki-Ilu, Ilasa, Akinleye and Ore-Akinde .
Adeogun alleged, “Our Awori fathers engaged in legal battles on the disputed lands with the Egbas’ who are mere visitors on the land between 2002-2005, which dragged to the Supreme Court where the Akowonwado family got judgement in their favour against Akinde and his supporters who are Egbas. After that Supreme Court judgement, Pa Adisa Odutola, Jide Talabi and others proceeded to Ota High Court, Agbara, where we obtained an enrollment order, delivered on July 21, 2015 by Justice Olusanya O. S.
“The judgement is sequel to several litigations instigated by the Akore family,, before the Supreme Court judged on the matter on Suit Number SC 259/2001 on 21st of May, 2004 as lacking evidence of ownership or entitlement by the Salako and Akore Families which were natives of Abeokuta in Ogun State. The community lands in contest, however is situated on Awori-land at Atan Community. So the question of their ownership was blatantly refuted by the court of law to the level of Supreme Court in 2004,” he revealed.
He added that the claims of displacement and forceful possession by the Akowonwado families, comprising seven villages of Ilasa, Oko-Omi, Okikilu, Erinle, Ore, Akinleye and Saari villages as mentioned above was taken over following a warrant of possession given to the Akowonwado family by the Ota High Court, Agbara, the with document (HCA/30/2015) Enrollment Order, Warrant Of possession and Form ‘O’ which stands for certificate of execution and warrant of possession on the contended lands respectively.
According to Akogun, the possession execution was carried out by Nigeria Police and the bailiffs from the court without any detractors whatsoever, involving the Ogun State Police Command (Eleweran Ops), the Sango Area Police Command, the Onipanu Divisional Police Command and the Atan Divisional Police Command in the possession execution in November 17, 2015.
Chief Akogun affirmed that the Bailiff from the High Court gave them a Certificate of Occupancy and warrant of possession Form ‘A’ on the 17th November, 2015, with Survey plan, Number 118/84 for the purpose of total possession of the land.

Stop Politicising EFCC Investigation To Blackmail President, APC Chieftain Tells Opposition Parties
A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun, Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, has cautioned members of opposition parties under the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) investigation to stop blackmailing President Bola Tinubu and focus on proving their innocence.
Oyintiloye, a member of the defunct APC Presidential Campaign Council, said this while speaking with newsmen on Sunday in Osogbo.
He said that the investigations being carried out by the anti-graft agency on some members of the opposition parties, based on petitions against them, were purely a constitutional matter and in line with international best practices.
Oyintiloye, a former lawmaker said that being a member of the opposition parties should not be seen as immunity against investigation into any alleged financial infractions whenever there were genuine reasons for it.
According to him, members of the ruling party are also being investigated by the EFCC whenever petitions alleging financial infractions are raised against them.
Oyintiloye said that the EFCC has a statutory mandate to investigate financial infractions involving public office holders across party lines without bias or favouritism.
The APC chieftain said that neither Tinubu nor the anti-graft agency would be swayed by unfounded allegations of witch-hunting but would rather continue to do what is right and just for the country.
“The EFCC has a mandate to investigate financial infractions against anyone, irrespective of political affiliations.
“Linking the President to the investigation of alleged financial infractions by opposition members in the name of politics is totally wrong.
“Whether you are a member of the ruling party or opposition, you are not immune to financial investigation.
“I want to caution members of the opposition parties to stop politicising what the EFCC is doing and prove their innocence, if any.
“President Tinubu is a man of honour and integrity, and he will not compromise his ideals in the name of politics. So, it is no longer business as usual,” he said.
According to him, there is no room for graft under the Tinubu administration

Waziri defeated the candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Yusuf Ali Maigado, who polled 27,931 votes
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has secured victory in the Ghari/Tsanyawa supplementary election held in Kano state.
Announcing the results on Sunday morning, August 17, the returning officer (RO), Professor Muhammad Waziri from Bayero University, declared APC candidate Garba Gwarmai the winner with a total of 31,472 votes.
He defeated the candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Yusuf Maigado, who polled 27,931 votes, according to The Punch.
The supplementary poll was conducted after the initial election in the constituency was declared inconclusive. With a margin of 3,541 votes, Gwarmai’s victory marks a key win for the APC as the party continues to reinforce its influence across the state.
Meanwhile, the NNPP won the Bagwai/Shanono state assembly by-election in Kano state.
Daily Trust and Vanguard noted this update.
Announcing the result at 12:36 a.m. on Sunday, August 17, the RO for the election, Prof. Hassan Adamu Shitu, declared the NNPP candidate, Ali Hassan Kiyawa, winner with 16,198 votes, defeating the APC candidate, Ahmad Muhammad Kadamu, who polled 5,347 votes.
Former Governor of Niger State, Dr. Babangida Aliyu, has said that the administration of President Bola Tinubu is performing well but lacks an effective communication strategy to relay its achievements to Nigerians.
Aliyu made the statement on the Thursday edition of Arise Television’s ‘The Morning Show’, while reacting to the outcome of a recent public accountability session held in Kaduna.
Aliyu, reflecting on the discussions at the Kaduna Forum, said the government is facing public dissatisfaction not because it hasn’t delivered, but because it is failing to tell its own story effectively.
The ex-governor said it is proper for political leaders in the North to make demands from Tinubu’s administration since the bulk of the votes that took power came from the region.
“Let the people understand what is happening on the ground. If by what we say that 63/64 percent of the vote came from the north, it is only logical that the north will be expecting so much from the government.
“But from what we have seen so far is that the government is doing well but they do not know how to communicate very well,” he said.
