The Senate President, Inspector General of Police, and the Chairman of the Police Service Commission are urged to initiate an immediate investigation and disciplinary action against Assistant Inspector General Zone 2, Jimoh Moshood, who is accused of involvement in the demolition of a property valued at over N1 billion in Lekki, Lagos.
The allegations include land grabbing, abuse of office, abuse of power, malicious destruction, and force entry into the property, known as Plot 77 Lekki Phase 1. The AIG is reported to have disobeyed a Court of Appeal order, which issued a Stay of Execution and status quo order to prevent any interference with the property pending the final outcome of the lawsuit.
The petitioner, a Lagos businessman, claims that the property, with Certificate of Occupancy No. 50/50/1990A, has been in peaceful possession since he purchased it and built a home on it. The AIG, allegedly motivated by personal interests, reportedly orchestrated the demolition with heavily armed police officers and heavy machinery, despite being aware of the court order.
The petitioner has provided photographic evidence of the destruction and requests a thorough investigation, disciplinary measures against the AIG and other officers involved, enforcement of the Stay of Execution, and criminal accountability for those responsible for the damages.
