Four Airforce Officers attached to OP-MESA recently stormed the office of Otunba Kehinde Adeosu at Owode Street, Abule Egba, Lagos, Southwest Nigeria and beat up Yakubu Ambeoloun. They came in a patrol vehicle marked EV 527 KRD and OP-MESA 023.
P.M.NEWS learnt that the Airforce Officers allegedly demanded to know the whereabouts of Otunba Kehinde and the boys they men in the office told the officers that their boss had travelled out of Lagos. But the officers did not believe and they beat up the boys including a female visitor identified as Bola.
Ambeoloun and Bola, a female visitor, sustained injuries and were taken to a clinic for treatment.
When P.M.NEWS visited Otunba Kehinde in his office, he told our reporter that he is the agent of the Olaroku Family who are the rightful owners of a parcel of land, following a court judgement.
He added that when Mr. Sanni Abdullahi, who was occupying the land, refused to obey the court order, the Olaroku Family went to obtain a demolition order from the state government. He urged Mr. Sanni Abdulahi to seek legal redress rather than resort to illegal use of military personnel to settle a civil matter.
