The Olarinde Royal Family of Oguntedo Village, Satellite Town, Lagos State, has petitioned the Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu, accusing some officers of the Lagos State Police Command of abuse of power, intimidation and alleged collusion with land grabbers.
The petitioners also alleged that the officers frustrated investigations into violent attacks on members of the family and used police authority to harass and intimidate them.
The family had staged a protest at The PUNCH Place in July 2025 over the alleged harassment and land dispute.
In the petition, signed by Prince Yussuf Olarinde on behalf of the family and obtained by PUNCH Metro on Thursday, the petitioners accused officers attached to the Satellite Police Station, Area E Command, Tactical Team Area E and the Lagos State Criminal Investigation Department of allegedly aiding land-grabbing activities and frustrating complaints against persons they described as land grabbers.
The petition was also addressed to the Deputy Inspector-General of Police in charge of the Force Criminal Investigation Department, the Commissioner of Police in charge of the X-Squad Unit and the Police Service Commission.
