The petition, signed by Comrade Alex Omotehinse, President of CHSR, was titled: “Petition on the Need for Urgent Legislative Intervention in the Ongoing Trial of Murder Case Involving Ajiran Community Indigenes.”
The Centre for Human and Socio-Economic Rights (CHSR) has petitioned the Lagos State House of Assembly, urging lawmakers to resist attempts to mislead the public and undermine the ongoing prosecution of suspects linked to the murders of two Ajiran community indigenes in Eti-Osa Local Government Area of Lagos State.
In a petition dated June 15, 2026 and addressed to the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Dr. Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa, the civil society organisation expressed concerns over efforts to interfere with judicial proceedings relating to the killings of Mr. Sheriff Ishola Salami, a youth leader, and Prince Kazeem Ademola Akinloye.
The petition, signed by Comrade Alex Omotehinse, President of CHSR, was titled: “Petition on the Need for Urgent Legislative Intervention in the Ongoing Trial of Murder Case Involving Ajiran Community Indigenes.”
According to the group, its attention was drawn to a separate petition submitted to the Lagos State House of Assembly by another organisation, the Centre for Citizens Rights Protection (CCRP), concerning ongoing police investigations and court proceedings arising from the two murder cases.
