IGP orders interrogation of Lagos State Task Force Chief over homicide case

They were detailed to provide security at Etegbin Village (Olubode Egbin)in the Ojo Local Government Area of Lagos for a family that had taken possession of land following a Court judgement in their favour.
It was in the course of providing security at Etegbin when they were suddenly ambushed by a group of matchet-wielding hoodlums, numbering about 50, who inflicted them with injuries.
The Alausa politicians, however, sent in a lawyer to represent them.
Meanwhile, the heat generated by the shooting and killing of the police Sergeant led to the in-depth investigations by carefully selected homicide detectives drawn from the Force Criminal Investigations Department (FCID) Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) to investigate the remote causes of the bloodletting activities that led to the killing of a police officer who died in the line of duty during an unprovoked attack.
It was learnt that the hoodlums associated with land grabbers were ostensibly mobilized, haven misled some government officials at Alausa that undesirable elements were fomenting trouble at their community which apparently called for the mobilisation of the armed Task Force Officials.
However, an officer in his office who pleaded not to be named, said he had been summoned to Abuja this morning (Friday) by the office of the IGP over the Etegbin matter.
Chief Morof Owonla, an interested party to the Adeoku family property, had during our investigation, said that 13 of his workers were abducted against their wish by the hoodlums and ferried away through a deep sea to an unknown destination.
He, however, added that others who escaped death by the whiskers sustained various degrees of wound and were promptly rescued by the alerted policemen attached to Ajangbadi Division.
In-depth investigations revealed that there had been a lingering tussle between one Adeoku family and another family over the legal ownership of hectares of land in the community.
The matter was adjudicated upon by Justice O. Oshodi of the Lagos High Court sitting in Ikeja, who, after listening to the two parties, delivered judgment in favour of the Adeoku Family.
