The Lagos County Court in Ikeba condemned three family members to a 24-month "heavy job" imprisonment for an illegal attack on a plot already sold by his family, Mr Augustine Odunwo.

The convicts arrested by Davies Abegunde on 18 August were Remi Akinsanya, Waidi Ogunlaja and Kamilu Ogunlaja.

The court found them guilty of four spells, the invasion of the square acres of Odunwo, intentional harm and violation of public peace.

On May 27, 2011, the police arrested him for illegal engagement in Odunwo's land in Idotun Community, Ibeju Lekki, Lagos, claiming they were punishable under Articles 81, 451 and 517 of the Criminal Code. 2,003th

Although the defendants did not plead guilty to the charges, the court found at the end of the six-year trial that they were found guilty and caught for 24 months without the possibility of fines.

The judge said he had found the testimony of police investigator Jimoh Nurudeen and that the victim, Odunwo, was convincing and realistic as opposed to the Accused's statement, which he said were contradictory and inconsistent.

The judge criticized the authoritarianism of the landowner in Lagos, who liked selling the same country of innocent buyers, claiming they did not deserve a court sentence.

The judge, Abegunde, said. "It is very sad that because of the greed of those lazy owners seized many events that can benefit their environment and job creation for future generations is to sell a piece of land for as many innocent buyers as you can find.

"This disgraceful act must be condemned by all, including war veterans, because anyone can be arrested by evil and unacceptable acts of this kind of owners abound in the Lagos state in particular.

"Given the above, and demystifying all the technical necessities set on the cutting edge in their quest to see justice, without hesitation, they conclude that the prosecution showed it was an indictment against the three accused here.

"In addition, since his defense, and all invented his testimony was discussed, neglected and considered unbelievable and therefore unreliable to this court, as the testimony of the two witnesses of the Prosecution is considered reliable. The behavior of PW5 is satisfactory and I believe and believe that you are witnesses of truth. "

Rejecting Defender Argument Arit Evbogbai That Judgment Should Take Smile Justice From Penalty, Penalty, The Judge He added: "The support of a learned defender was watched with passion and passion, people in the community, and should not be involved in such actions.

"As the first offender, I was thinking of imposing a bitter punishment on them, but it would send a bad signal that the kind of people who have been selling land already bought for evidence for other innocent customers, the situation most often causing a violation of peace, has become so bad and very hard in such a state that his exegesis, the governor of this state to create a working group to deal with those incidents, seems to have become a norm, especially here in the Lagos state.

"In that sense, I can only punish jail ... This will send a bad signal to other landowners in the country who want to sell the same land to more customers destroying the structures that are the first customers. This development does not allow the Lagos state to be developed properly because many investors fear come to Lagos for investing in building a factory or creating others. small industries that create jobs for young people.

"In addition, a good choice will not be taken into account not sending the wrong message to potential criminals who believe their right to sell the land after being damaged and resold. Each of the Accused was sentenced to 24 months in prison for every four points and sentences must be executed at the same time. "
