The defendant and his accomplices have escaped capture despite the efforts of the Zone 2 Police to catch them; police investigations into the purported illegal acts are still in progress.
Actress Lizzy Anjorin’s spouse, Lateef Lawal, was allegedly one of the alleged co-conspirators who avoided capture in Ikoyi, Lagos State, on February 5, 2024, while his associate was captured and imprisoned.
The case has escalated to the Lagos High Court for civil redress in two separate suits, with case numbers SUIT NO: LD/14340LMW/2023 BETWEEN ALHAJI BOLAJI SULAIMON & 3 ORS VS MRS. FAITH OJO and SUIT NO: LD/14515LMW/2023 BETWEEN MRS. FAITH OJO VS CHIEF RASHEED OLUKOSI & 7 ORS.
Despite the ongoing legal proceedings, the defendants in the Magistrate Court, along with purported associates of Lizzy Anjorin’s husband, allegedly persist in engaging in land-grabbing activities across Lagos State. While bail conditions for the suspect accused of malicious damages are yet to be met, his co-conspirator remains in custody at the Ikoyi Custodial Centre.
Furthermore, there are allegations that actress Liz Anjorin has discreetly leveraged her celebrity status to secure the release of the suspect from prison. These claims add a layer of complexity to the ongoing legal battle surrounding the alleged land-grabbing syndicate.
