A businesswoman, Adeyinka Igbinoba, has accused a land agent, Saheed Mosadoluwa, of brutalising her and her brother-in-law on the premises of his office on Victoria Garden City, in the Victoria Island area of Lagos State.
PUNCH Metro gathered that Igbinoba’s sisters paid N30m to Mosadoluwa as part payment to purchase a parcel of land.
After payment, Igbinoba alleged that her siblings discovered that Mosadoluwa was making an attempt to defraud them and subsequently demanded a refund of the money.
When efforts to get a refund proved abortive, the businesswoman said her siblings petitioned the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
As investigation into the case was ongoing, Igbinoba said her mother intervened and Mosadoluwa decided to meet them for further deliberation.
The Lagos State indigene said her mother, brother-in-law and siblings were preparing for the meeting when she was summoned to accompany them to Mosadoluwa’s office on Landbook Properties, Eleganza Complex, opposite VGC.
She said, “Unknown to us, it (meeting) was an ambush. Saheed Mosadoluwa had placed his thugs around the venue. Innocently, we went to his office and my mum started by pleading with him to refund the N30m. One of my sisters was also pleading when he said we should withdraw the case from the EFCC.
“At that point, my sister’s husband said if that’s what he wanted, he should issue a bank draft so we could have a guarantee before withdrawing the matter at the EFCC. I also intervened and he suddenly flared up and ordered his thugs to pounce on my brother-in-law.
“On seeing this, I brought out my phone to start recording but Mosadoluwa attacked me. He also took a plank, aimed it at my head but I dodged the attack.
“He caught up with me, kicked me with his leg and I fell to the ground. Mosadoluwa struck my ankle with the weapon and my bones shattered. It was when I stood up from the ground to run that I realised that I had sustained grievous injuries on my leg.”
Igbinoba said Mosadoluwa, upon seeing the extent of her injuries, demanded her mother’s account number and transferred N15m to her.
She said, “My driver rushed me to a hospital and my nightmare started from there. The following day, my husband reported at the Ajiwe Police Station, Ajah, and Mosadoluwa was invited, but he didn’t show up. Instead, he called my mum and started bragging that he lives on Amen Estate and wasn’t the one that broke my leg.
“When I heard about Amen Estate, I immediately chatted with Sade Gbadamosi, the Managing Director, Redbrick Homes International Limited, the developers of Amen Estate. I asked if she knew Saheed Mosadouwa and she confirmed knowing him and that he truly lived on the estate.
“I explained all that transpired and Gbadamosi said she was not happy because we are her two best friends. The following day, she came to visit me at the hospital and told me to drop all charges against Mosadoluwa if I wanted to collect the N15m balance. I was disappointed and took this as outright blackmail.
