The tranquil community of Adunbun, nestled in the heart of Itori, Ewekoro, Ogun State, has been plunged into a nightmare of fear and destruction. Led by the notorious Owoeye, popularly known as Baba Owoeye, a gang of hoodlums, commonly referred to as land grabbers, has unleashed havoc, leaving a trail of shattered homes and traumatized residents in their wake. Shockingly, imprisoned Mojeed Enitinwa, once perceived as the primary figurehead, is now revealed as merely a pawn in the hands of the true ringleader, Baba Owoeye.
Shobakin Akanji, also recognized as the Olori Ebi of Adunbun community, has witnessed the community’s ordeal firsthand. Following the arrest of Mojeed Enitinwa and his gang members, prompted by a petition to the Inspector General of Police, the community held hopes for respite. However, the true mastermind, Baba Owoeye, responded with a retaliatory surge of violence, reinforcing his ranks to perpetuate their destructive spree.
The Land Grabbers’ Reign of Terror:
In a recent and chilling incident, the land grabbers launched a brutal attack on Kayode Falola, the Baale of Adunbun community. Under the cover of darkness, around 1 am, with over 30 gang members, they targeted his residence, inflicting severe injuries on the Baale, setting his house ablaze, and destroying his car. The degree of violence exhibited by the gang has instilled fear within the hearts of the community’s residents, subjecting them to the constant dread of subsequent attacks.
The devastation caused by the land grabbers has left Adunbun community in a state of despair. The assault on the Baale has resulted in his hospitalization and coma, while community members are fleeing, apprehensive of further violence. Adding to their anguish, influential figures like Kabiyesi Fatai Akorede Akamo, the Olu of Itori Kingdom, have demonstrated support for the land grabbers, exacerbating the community’s desperation.
While Mojeed Enitinwa was initially believed to be the driving force behind the gang’s reign of terror, the shocking revelation now points to Baba Owoeye as the true puppeteer. Mojeed, presently remanded in prison, seems to have served as a mere figurehead, taking orders from Owoeye, the orchestrator of the gang’s criminal activities.
Community’s Response:
Adunbun community’s plea for assistance grows urgent as they confront the stark reality of Baba Owoeye’s influence, even with their apparent leader imprisoned. With their homes ravaged and lives shattered, the residents of Adunbun persistently appeal to Governor Dapo Abiodun, the Inspector General of Police, the CP, and the State House of Assembly for immediate intervention to restore peace and justice.
Once a serene haven, Adunbun community has transformed into a battleground for survival against the unrelenting onslaught of land grabbers, masterminded by the elusive Baba Owoeye. As their cries for help reverberate through the halls of power, the indigenes of Adunbun cling to hope that their pleas will be heeded, rekindling solace and security in their cherished community once more.
