MEMBERS of the Amodemaja chieftaincy family in Lekki in the Ibeju-Lekki Local Government Area of Lagos State have petitioned the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, over the invasion of their land by some thugs on Tuesday, November 29.
The petition, signed on behalf of the family by its General Secretary, Prince Amodemaja Thomas Adekunle, said the alleged thugs, who invaded the vast land with 10 buses all loaded with thugs armed with dangerous weapons, such as AK-47, matchetes, cudgels, charms and iron bars, destroyed plants and shot sporadically.
These hired thugs, according to the petition, wounded many members of the family, and those who sustained injuries are receiving treatment in hospital.
“We are appealing for urgent intervention of the Inspector General of Police in this matter, so that all the persons involved in the invasion should not go unpunished”, said the petition.
