DIMEJI BANKOLE’S FATHER, ALANI WRITES PETITION AGAINST GOVERNOR AMOSUN OVER ALLEGED FLOUTING COURT ORDER ON LAND MATTERS
However, Bankole raised alarm that, in view of all judgments obtained in his favour and coupled with the latest ruling ordering the two parties to desist from taking possession of the land pending the case in the appeal court, alleged that Governor Amosun and his agent commenced work on the land.
He said, this development made him to write a petition to the Inspector General of Police to call the Governor to order, before the situation gets out of hand, stressing that in a desperate move to deceive the judge, Amosun through his agents moved to the land at about 2.30am of July 16, 2018 to evacuate everything on the land.
‘However, to my great surprise, while I took the ruling in good fate, Governor Amosun and his agents immediately moved to the land and commenced construction on it. Please be informed that all these rascality and diabolical impunity being perpetrated by Governor Amosun is being supervised by policemen attached to the Government House, some of who are permanently stationed at the site to provide cover for the illegality’, Banoke said in the petition.
The petition attached with photographs of the policemen assigned to the controversial land, added further that, ’I could not fathom the reason Governor Amosun is desperately trying to hijack a land that legitimately belong to me. This is the height of Executive rascality and disregard for rule of law by a man who swore to respect the constitution of our country’
Bankole declared, ‘I will like to put it on record that no man has monopoly of rascality. The Governor’s attitude, despite being the Chief Security Officer of the State is capable of setting the State on fire, but as a man who is unrepentantly committed to the peaceful co-existence of Nigeria, and who believes that two wrongs can never make a right, I hereby request you, as the man saddled with the responsibility of maintaining peace and order to intervene and ensure compliance to the various judgments and ruling of the Ogun State High Courts’
Penpushing contacted, the Ogun State Commissioner for Justice and Attorney General, Olumide Ayeni, who is the second defendant in the controversial case for his response, but bluntly declared that he was not ready to respond to the issue on pages of newspapers.
His words ‘If it is in relation to Chief Alani Bankole , I am not interested, I don’t believe in third party information, I have not seen the petition, so I will not comment on it. I don’t join issues on pages of newspapers. I join issues in court. Good bye’,
