Sinatu Adeoye Judgment Land: Firm Alleges Threat To Peace, Urges Gov Adeleke To Keep ‘Land Grabbing Militia’ In Check
An estate management firm has petitioned the governor of Osun State, Asiwaju Ademola Adeleke over what the complainant called ‘heinous activities’ of a ‘land grabbing militia’ that allegedly invaded a judgment land in Osogbo and launched an attack on innocent people.
Late Madam Sinatu Adeoye owned the land in question.
The firm warned that the activities of the land grabbing militia have posed a threat to the peace of the state and can reverse government’s developmental strides if left unchecked.
In a four-page petition authored by Opias Real Estate Management Nigeria Limited which was signed by its counsel, Kintai Kintai and Associates, the complainant described incessant attacks on innocent people on the land judgement by the land grabbing militia as worrisome.
The firm alleged that the militia’s primary ‘stock in trade’ is committing criminal trespass on designated lands across the state capital especially the Sinatu Adeoye’s judgement creditor land at both sides of the Osogbo–Ikirun Road, covering areas like Powerline, Omidiran Garden, Iyana Camp, Biket Junction Area, and Ifesowapo Community, sharing boundaries with Bidire family and adjoining communities.
The complainant in the petition dated April 21, 2026, which was made available to Team@orientactualmags.com also cc’d security chiefs and top government officials in the state.
The firm submitted that these inimical acts constitute a grave security threat to the ongoing developmental strides in the state moreso when they reportedly boasted that they have the backing of ‘the seat of power in Abuja’.
The militia members also allegedly bragged that the state governor is powerless and cannot stop them.
According to Opias Real Estate Management, the militia has focused its atrocities on a disputed land that Governor Adeleke had recently ordered the police to investigate.
The investigation report reportedly confirmed that the land belongs to late Madam Sinatu Adeoye, from who the estate firm derived its title.
However, to the firm’s dismay, the land grabbing militia has prevented the rightful owner from exercising her rights as they reportedly invaded the site, shooting sporadically and they destroyed structures worth millions of naira while the incident left people with varying degrees of injuries.
The complainant has therefore urged the governor to keep the land grabbing militia in check describing their activities as a ‘time bomb’ that must not be allowed to explode.
‘In an era where a large part of the country is battling insecurity, it is appalling to have men parading themselves as unidentifiable private militias, roaming in public with sophisticated arms not even seen among our recognized security outfits’ Kintai Kintai and Associates submitted.
The petition which was titled ‘Let It Not Be Said That We Didn’t Scream Enough’ was sent to the State Attorney General while the governor’s Special Adviser on Security Matters, the Assistant Inspector General of Police, the Osun State Commissioner of Police, the State Director of the Department of State Services (DSS), the Commandant of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), the State Commissioner for Lands, and the Surveyor-General of Osun State were cc’d-Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
