Four Suspected Land Grabbers Face Court Over Impersonation of Lawyer in Fraud Case

Date: 2025-04-25

Four individuals suspected of land grabbing have been arraigned at an Upper Area Court in Ilorin, Kwara State, on charges of impersonating lawyer Imam Fulani to prepare fraudulent land agreements.

The suspects-Ojo Ibrahim, Shuaibu Eleke, Abdulrauf Sodiq, and Daudu Teslim-face trial following a petition by Olayinka Jimoh, secretary of the Ilorin branch of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), to the police on 17 April 2025.

The petition highlighted allegations that the suspects forged land agreements under the name of Barrister Imam Fulani. A First Information Report (FIR) was filed, alleging the documents were falsely attributed to the lawyer to legitimise illegal land transactions.

"On 16/04/2025 at about 1300hrs, One Barrister Olayinka Dauda Jimoh 'm' of NBA house, brought a letter of Petition to 'A' Division Police Station llorin, against

You Ojo lbrahim 'm' of No 20 Budo-Oke, Bala road Eyenkorin, you Alhaji Shuaibu Eleke 'm' of No 75, Okelele, Ilorin Ilorin, you Abdulrauf Sodiq 'm' and You Daudu Teslim "m" of Bala road Eyenkorin , that on 15/4/2025 at about 1400hrs, you Ojo lbrahim was found in possession of some already prepared land document purported to be prepared by Barrister Imam Fulani. That when Imam Fulani was contacted he denied preparing such agreement and he doesn't know the person who is in possession of the agreement.

"During the course of Police investigation it revealed that all of you criminally conspired and fraudulently connived to prepare the document impersonating a lawyer. Meanwhile, it is the right of lawyer to prepare a land instrument as stated in section 4 of the land instrument (preparation) Law of Kwara State.

"At (A' Division Police Station Ilorin, when you were question, you could not give a satisfactory answer to the charge. You ther?by committed the above mentioned offences," the FIR stated.

In a short ruling, Justice Sunday Adeniyi, granted bail to two of the suspects but ordered that the other two suspects be remanded at the Correctional Facility in Oke Kura, Ilorin.

He adjourned the case to May 5, 2025 for further mention.
