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.

The Vice Chancellor of Atiba University, Oyo, Professor Sunday Okeniyi, has enjoined the newly employed staff of the institution to develop the spirit of teamwork, respect, and discipline, which are the hallmarks of every successful institution.
Okeniyi disclosed this during the orientation programme for the newly employed staff of the institution.
While welcoming the newly employed staff, he also congratulated them on their successful appointment into the fast-rising institution. “Your joining us today is not by chance, but by merit, commitment, and the will of God. Atiba University is a citadel of learning and character formation, envisioned to nurture and produce men and women of excellence, integrity, and service.

Our goal is not just for you to work here, but for you to thrive, contribute meaningfully, and leave an indelible mark on the growth and transformation of this University.”

Speaking via his 𝕏 account, he insisted that the killers should be wiped out, adding that there should be no room for discussions or negotiations.
Fani-Kayode asserted that the killers are terrorists not bandits and described their actions as an act of war.
He wrote: “These are not bandits. Pls stop calling them bandits. They are bloodthirsty killers and terrorists and every single one of them should be wiped off the face of the earth.
“If our people cannot worship God in peace then we have nothing. No negotiation, no discussion, no ransom payments, no rehabilitation.
“This is WAR. Kill every single one of them, wipe out their blood line and decimate their communities and abodes. There is no place on earth for those that slaughter innocent civilians.”
Meanwhile, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kwara State has accused Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq of failing to address the escalating banditry crisis in the state.
Naija News reports that a deadly attack occurred on Sunday in Oke-Ode, Ifelodun Local Government Area, which left several residents and vigilante members dead.
Speaking via a statement on Monday, the Publicity Secretary of the party, Olusegun Olusola Adewara, described the massacre as “a despicable and senseless act.”
He blamed the governor for the insecurity situation in the state, noting that it is a monumental leadership failure.
Adewara said, “The gruesome videos of the casualties circulating online make it look like Kwara is now at war. Under AbdulRahman’s watch, terror is reigning, kidnappers are taking over rural villages, and nowhere is safe again.”
The opposition party faulted AbdulRazaq’s alleged silence and absence from the affected community, insisting that a responsible leader should have personally visited Oke-Ode to commiserate with victims’ families and give assurances of decisive action.
It further accused the governor of neglecting local vigilantes and security personnel “battling criminals in the bush,” while diverting funds to “footballers and entertainers outside the state.”
The PDP’s criticism comes amid rising concern in Kwara North, where repeated bandit attacks have forced residents to abandon farms, schools, and businesses.

Nigeria @65: Atiku Knocks Tinubu’s Government In Strongly-Worded Independence Day Message; Details Emerge
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has praised Nigerians for what he described as “uncommon patience, endurance, and resilience despite living under suffocating socio-economic and security conditions”
In his Independence Day message to Nigerians, the opposition leader alleged that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) administration had abandoned Nigerians to their fate
Atiku lamented that Nigerians were enduring pains from “raging insecurity, rising food scarcity, mass unemployment, and a dangerous climate of hopelessness all “compounded by the insensitivity of the APC-led administration
In an Independence Day message released by his media office, obtained by Legit.ng, Atiku lamented that Nigerians are enduring excruciating pains from raging insecurity, rising food scarcity, mass unemployment, and a dangerous climate of hopelessness.
The presidential hopeful accused the Tinubu administration of being insensitive to the plight of Nigerians.
Atiku declared: “It is tragic that in a country blessed with immense human and material resources, millions of our people have been reduced to refugees and beggars in their fatherland. Every responsible government holds the welfare and security of its citizens as supreme. But what we have today is an administration that has abandoned its people. Hunger is killing Nigerians, bandits are massacring communities, yet President Tinubu and his cabinet stand by, unmoved and uncaring.”
Furthermore, Atiku called on citizens not to lose faith, reminding Nigerians that the 2027 election provides a clear opportunity to reject bad leadership and reclaim the promise of a better tomorrow.
He said: “The beauty of democracy lies in the power of the ballot. Oppressed and battered as our people may feel today, they will have the chance to sweep away this inept government at the next polls. That is the power no cabal can take away from the people.”
At 65, Atiku noted, Nigeria remains “a giant moving painfully slow on feet of clay”.
The 78-year-old blamed Nigeria’s condition on “a direct result of decades of poor leadership and wasteful governance.”
He bemoaned: “Yet, he urged Nigerians to keep hope alive, insisting that with the right leadership, the country can still rise from the ashes of failed governance to reclaim its rightful place among the comity of nations.”
