Sunday, August 25, 2024- Ismail, a 42 years old man, has been arrested for allegedly selling a piece of land that does not belong to him at Ilori-Agbedu, Ede, Osun State.
Ismail was arrested by the
operatives of the Osun Amotekun Corps for selling the land for the sum of
N800,000 to a woman, Mrs Afolabi, with a fake document.
The Osun Amotekun Corps Commander, CSP
Isaac Omoyele (rtd) confirming the development in a statement in Saturday, said
the arrest was effected on Sunday after a report was filed at the Amotekun
Headquarters in Osogbo on the activities of the culprit who fled to an unknown
place after selling the land to the woman.
Omoyele said, “Amotekun
operatives sprang into action immediately after a report was filed and the
suspect arrested at his hideout.
“Ismail presented a forged receipt, claiming he bought the land
from Mogaji’s family, but later confessed to forging the receipt and documents.
The Mogaji family produced the original receipt, confirming Ismail’s
dishonesty.
“Omoyele called on Osun residents to be extremely careful when
buying land from people.”
The suspect has been transferred to the Police for
further interrogation and prosecution.
