Faith Ojo, a US-based filmmaker, has raised concerns regarding Adegboyega Lateef Lawal, the husband of actress Lizzy Anjorin, over alleged land grabbing activities.
The Magistrate Court in Oyingbo Ebute-Metta, Lagos, recently took action on the case involving Lawal and Alhaji Sulaimon of Okun-Ajah, Eti-Osa, Lagos State, among others.
Alhaji Sulaimon is accused of causing malicious damage to properties valued at 15 million naira, allegedly intended for an orphanage home and disabled children, owned by Faith Ojo.
Despite the efforts of the Zone 2 Police to address the alleged criminal activities, the defendant and his accomplices managed to evade arrest, while police investigations continue.
Lawal reportedly evaded arrest in Ikoyi on February 5, 2024, while his associate was apprehended and incarcerated.
Addressing the issue on Instagram, Faith Ojo affirmed herself as the landowner, emphasizing that the ongoing legal proceedings would set a precedent for those seeking to exploit others’ property unlawfully.
She wrote, “Good day everyone. My attention has been drawn to the circulating news about Liz Anjorin’s husband, Alhaji Lateef LAWAL, who is accused alongside others for land grabbing in Lagos. Yes, I can confirm that the story is genuine and the land belongs to me. I purchased the said land 4 years ago and I planned to build an orphanage there for needy kids under my foundation.
“I won’t be able to say much for now as the matter is currently in Court. I have strong belief in Nigeria’s judiciary and I am confident that the right thing will be done. This case will deterrent index to all others who seek to reap where they did not sow. Land grabbing and all other associated shady dealings are evil. God bless you all. Faith Ojo.”
