Land Grabbing Tussle: Family Accuse Popular Lagos Chairman of Impunity

Published

on



Ibeju-lekki Chairman, Honourable Olorunkemi Surakatu, Baale, In Land Grabbing Mess
…Family Members Alleged them of Impunity and abuse of office

Corruption they say is one of the obstacle preventing Nigeria from achieving its enormous potential. 
While
the government is busy fighting the politicians and other arms of
government to desist from corrupt act, some individuals are still busy
conniving in perpetrating the act. 

Meanwhile,
land grabbing by local elites has been ignored by the government while
the onslaught of land dispossession is becoming an incessant crisis. 
Another
family in this same land grabbing mess is the Oju-Ile Family tree from
Bolorunpe town in Ibeju-Lekki who have been accusing the chairman of
Ibeju-lekki, Honourable Kemi Surakatu of impunity and continuous
dictatorial attitude.
Honourable Olorunkemi
Surakatu who is also a member of the family allegedly connived with
estate agents using his position as the local government chairman to
sell the family landed properties without the consent of other family
members. 

This illicit
act has been causing a lot of unrest within the family as some of the
family members have started receiving letters, text messages from
unknown contacts threatening them to stay clear of the said properties. 
The
family member which consist of four branches includes; Ogunbose family,
Sango family, Fowoke family and Ooja family have been visiting court
over their vast hectares of land but all effort to get court injunction
prove abortive. 
Hon. Olorunkemi Surakat who is
from Sango family is the one allegedly terrorising, imposing and
dictating everything in the family.

A
brief chat with the family Secretary, Oludaisi Rasak, claimed the
Oju-Ile family have been experiencing some level of impunity over the
family lands ever since Honourable Olorunkemi Surakatu assumed office of
the chairman of Ibeju-lekki Local Government using his position to
intimidate, impose and harassing family members.

In
his words, he said “We are here at Okerekere at Bolounpelu Village
where we discover people clearing the family land without the knowledge
of the whole family members. And that is why we are here to know the
truth about who is behind it. With me here are some of the family elders
who can attest to the fact that, we did not sign any document to sell
or clearing purpose.” 
Talking about the landmarks,
he said “This land we’re talking about is over six hundred hectares of
land and out of it, Assets Resources Management (ARM) is claiming part
of the land. They said, the land belongs to them. So, we had to take
them to court to know how they acquire the land. And we’ve been in court
since 2016. But to our surprise, we discovered that some people are
still clearing in the name of ARM and also in the name of Landwey. And
the truth is that, the family never signed any agreement with these two
companies. I am the Secretary of the family and I’ve never sign any
agreement with anyone” 

Buttressing
his claim, he also said “After the court hearing in 2016, court advice
we settle the matter amicably with ARM. So we now decided to go into
agreement for settlement but the agreement for settlement have not come
yet.” 
“While we are still waiting for the
agreement of settlement, Shakiru Salami Baale of Bolorunpelu who was
forcefully impose as Baale of the community by honourable Kemi Surakatu
connived with some people to start selling the family lands saying that
nobody can challenge his authority that whatever he says and do is
final.” 

On whether the
land was initially shared among the family, but he said “Not at all. The
land has not been shared. All we had in mind is to come to the land,
and share per plot or half among ourselves and build to establish a
larger community.  What astonished the entire family was that, after our
investigation, it was revealed to us that, the Baale, Shakiru Salami is
deeply involved in this because we don’t know Landwey, only ARM and
some village association that the government made were in court with us,
so we never new anything about Landwey.” 
In 2010
the court ordered that Bolorunpelu land should be shared amongst the
four branches of Oju-ile family, but it appears that some persons who
have allegedly connived with the Hon. Kemi Surakat are dancing to his
tunes and beats of the music for self interest.

However,
a petition has been written to the IG against the chairman for
threatening to kill Mr. Oluwadaisi Rasak (the family secretary) while
the family appealed to the government to come to their aid over an
alleged ploy to intimidate them from their legitimate family land.
All effort to get the chairman reaction, prove abortive as the number keep ringing without response as at the press time.

Attached below is the petitions file against the chairman.

Polaris Bank customer, Ife Michael, who recently aired her concerns on X (formerly Twitter) on a school fees transaction, has commended the Bank for resolving her Complaint swiftly as promised.

 

Ife Michael tweeting via her X handle @V_Ifemichael had called out the Bank for ‘seizing’ her funds as sent from a UK University where she had sought admission.

Polaris Bank reacted promptly to her Complaint and engaged her to explain the process and promised to resolve the issue which the Bank did swiftly.

An apparently elated Ife Michael went back to the micro blogging site to recount her experience with an update on her earlier thread of how the Bank swiftly resolved her Complainant.

The Bank, according to her update “responded and reached out to explain in details the guidelines underpinning FX transaction as it relates in particular to International payment.

In her tweet, Ife Michael expressed gratitude to Polaris Bank’s swift action and transparent communication. According to her, the Bank clarified that the situation was complex but assured her that the funds would be promptly refunded to the school. And Polaris Bank did exactly as it promised as it promptly refunded the money to Roehampton University and initiated necessary processes to streamline the refund.

The engagement began when Polaris Bank’s headquarters made the first contact at 11:48 am, and by 3:41 pm on the same day, Ife Michael confirmed that the Bank had successfully refunded the funds and

fulfilled all required procedures. The Bank also took the extra step of writing to the school to facilitate the process.

This positive outcome highlights Polaris Bank’s commitment to customer satisfaction, responsive and excellent customer service, and adherence to regulatory policies. The incident not only showcases effective conflict resolution but also underscores the power of a Bank fostering transparent communication between it and her customers.

Cristiano Ronaldo wants to leave Manchester United

Published

By

 

Cristiano Ronaldo and his agent Jorge Mendes held meetings with United at Carrington on Tuesday, but his position remains unchanged and he wants to play for a club in the Champions League and win major trophies. United do not want him to go, however, and Ronaldo has started training with the team having missed the club’s pre-season tour of Thailand and Australia due to family reasons.

His potential options elsewhere are limited. Chelsea are not an option anymore, while Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid appeared to publicly rule themselves out this week. “As we’ve seen on Instagram, Ronaldo has been keeping fit, so there are no concerns from Manchester United over his fitness or physical level; he’s one of the fittest players in world football.

“Ultimately, The Portuguese forward did state his desire to leave Old Trafford, but he’s running out of options, and it seems like he’s actually going to have to stay. Perhaps he will try and swing it where the 25 per cent pay cut in his contract will be waived away by United, perhaps he wants to manoeuvre and muscle a new deal, we’ll have to wait and see. But it doesn’t look like Stamford Bridge is on his cards.

“Chelsea have distanced themselves from a deal for Ronaldo, as have Bayern Munich, Napoli and a lot of other elite clubs that Jorge Mendes, who is Ronaldo’s agent, has tried to sell him to. “An offer from Saudi Arabia is astronomical but ultimately, it does not give Cristiano Ronaldo what he wants, which is that legacy. He wants to achieve Champions League records that he thinks no one else will be able to attain in the future.

“He wants to sign off at the absolute highest level. Now, it looks increasingly like he will have to stay at Manchester United because there are no biters from the big clubs.

“Everyone has their forwards already, and Chelsea, who are the only club looking like they could actually potentially be spun by what Cristiano Ronaldo offers off the pitch because we were told that Mendes, while being in front of these clubs, was putting forward his numbers in terms of social media influence, sponsorship that he rakes in, the commercial gain of his shirt sales and stuff like that. But even they now say he is not in their plans. Their immediate aim is to strengthen the defence.

“So, that leaves Ronaldo really with not many choices. We know that he does want to be competing at the highest level so if he does go to Saudi Arabia that cuts against everything he has said and everything we actually know about him and his career.

“Manchester United have always been very calm and very comfortable. They have insisted he is not for sale, and he will see out the last year of his contract. How they manoeuvre this now going forward we’ll see, but Ronaldo is keeping fit, so they have no issues or problems or fears over what state he’ll report back to pre-season in.”
