In response to allegations from TRAME executives, he has fired back, dismissing the claims as a “campaign of calumny” and decrying the accusers as “blackmailers.”
Engr. Omotosho strongly refuted the accusations, labeling them as baseless attempts to tarnish his reputation.
In a petition addressed to Governor Babajide Sanwoolu by the TRAME executives, titled ‘Request for Urgent Intervention by Mr. Governor on the Threat to Peace, Livability, Stability, and Security at the Maplewood Estate Oko-Oba Agege, Lagos,’ the representatives expressed their concerns regarding the behaviour of Omotosho.
According to the TRAME executives, Engr. Omotosho has been a constant source of disruption within the estate, allegedly flouting rules and regulations set by the Residents Association.
They claimed that he has refused to pay estate security dues and electricity development levy, operated a school against the estate’s development plan, damaged security barriers, defied court judgments, and illegally occupied land designated for a recreation ground.
Engr. Omotosho has vehemently denied the claims, labeling them as a “campaign of calumny” and accusing his accusers of being “blackmailers.”
Meanwhile, Engr. Omotosho has already filed a petition with the commissioner of police and investigation has allegedly been ordered.
Part of his grievance is the flooding of the school premises and unauthorized incursions into his land. He also raised concerns about the re-channeling of the drainage system, among other issues.
The ongoing conflict has divided the community and raised concerns about the future of Maplewood Estate. Residents are left grappling with the implications of the accusations and counter-accusations between Engr. Omotosho and the TRAME executives.
However, residents are hopeful that a resolution can be reached to restore peace and harmony within the estate.
