Angry Youths Batter Estate Agent In Lagos

An estate agent, Otunba Kehinde Adeosun, has been battered by angry youths in Abule -Egba area of Lagos State, southwest Nigeria, for allegedly storming the area with thugs to remove the roofs, doors and windows of their houses.

The victim who is nursing a broken skull is receiving treatment at a hospital. The suspected thugs also vandalised the house of a local chief who had fled the area to avoid being attacked. P.m News gathered that youths in the community mobilized and went to the agent’s house to attack him and his son.

The clash followed a land dispute which had lingered for many years in the area  but was recently resolved by a Supreme Court judgement, affirming the Iyorun Family of Awori Abule-Egba as the rightful owner of the controversial land.

However, it was alleged that some of the landlords who occupied the land refused to comply with the court judgment.
