Family denies land grabbing allegations against Ogun monarch

The family of Najeem Osolake, the traditional ruler of Mogede village in Ibafo, Ogun State, has refuted allegations of land grabbing made against him. His son, Akingbogun Azeez, stated that Osolake is not a land grabber and is the Baale of Mogede village. The dispute arose after a businesswoman, Damilola Adisa, claimed that Osolake threatened her life and attempted to seize her father's land, despite having valid ownership documents.

The Ogun State Attorney-General, Oluwasina Ogungbade, intervened in the matter and stated that Osolake's family signed an undertaking not to trespass on the property. The dispute is currently before the Customary Court in Owode-Egba, Ogun State, and the family has agreed to withdraw the civil case at the next adjourned date.
