Man Lands In Police Net For Selling Land With Fake Documents In Osun

Lasisi Ismail, a 42 years old man, has been arrested for allegedly selling a piece of land that does not belong to him at Ilori-Agbedu, Ede, Osun State.


Daily Post reports that Ismail was arrested by the operatives of the Osun Amotekun Corps for selling the land for the sum of N800,000 to a woman, Mrs Afolabi, with a fake document.

The Osun Amotekun Corps Commander, CSP Isaac Omoyele (rtd) confirming the development in a statement in Saturday, said the arrest was effected on Sunday after a report was filed at the Amotekun Headquarters in Osogbo on the activities of the culprit who fled to an unknown place after selling the land to the woman.
Omoyele said, “Amotekun operatives sprang into action immediately after a report was filed and the suspect arrested at his hideout.
“Ismail presented a forged receipt, claiming he bought the land from Mogaji’s family, but later confessed to forging the receipt and documents. The Mogaji family produced the original receipt, confirming Ismail’s dishonesty.

“Omoyele called on Osun residents to be extremely careful when buying land from people.”
The suspect has been transferred to the Police for further interrogation and prosecution.
