Lagos family petitions IG, accuses police of shielding alleged land grabbers

The Olarinde Royal Family of Oguntedo Village in Lagos State has petitioned the Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu, alleging that some police officers are abusing their power, intimidating the family, and colluding with land grabbers. The family claims the officers have shielded alleged land grabbers, frustrated investigations into violent attacks, and used their authority to harass and intimidate the Olarinde family.

The petition was signed by Prince Yussuf Olarinde on behalf of the family and seeks an independent investigation and police protection for the family and residents of Oguntedo Village and Satellite Town.
