The residents of Lotu town in Ibeju Lekki Local Government Area of Lagos State have taken to the streets to demand justice for the murder of Chief Fatai Jubril who suspected land grabbers allegedly killed
While displaying placards bearing several inscriptions on Saturday, the protesters including the youth, women, aged, and the family members of the deceased victims demanded the commissioner of police, Idowu Ohunwuwa’s intervention in the matter.
It was learnt that earlier reported how the family members and residents narrated the killing of the chief by the suspected land grabbers. The slain chief’s widow, Ejiro, said she was also assaulted while struggling to shield her late husband from being killed by the over 50 hoodlums.
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the incident in an interview with PUNCH Metro last Tuesday and said the police had launched a manhunt for the suspected killers.
After several days of no significant development on the investigation, the residents took to the street over an alleged fear of cover-up while seeking the intervention of the traditional ruler of Ibeju Land to support the community and the police to apprehend the suspects involved in the killing.
