The Mogaji of Ile Akoto in Labiran area of Ibadan, Chief Jelili Adepoju has said that the family has no information about a disputed land in Elebu area of Ibadan.
Adepoju made said this in a press statement made available to DAILY POST on Wednesday.
DAILY POST recalls that the Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Rasidi Adewolu Ladoja had handed over a suspect to the Department of State Service, DSS, over a disputed land.
Recall that some persons who claimed to be members of Akoto and Ojofeitimi families are in dispute over the parcel of land. This prompted the Olubadan to wade in and hand over a suspected land grabber to the DSS on Tuesday.
But, the Mogaji of Ile Akoto at Labiran area, Adepoju, in reaction, claimed that his family is not in contention with any family over a land.
He explained that the Akoto being referred to is not the Akoto in Labiran area of Ibadan.
He added that he will continue to work in line with the provisions and dictates of the Olubadan and his council.
Adepoju said, “My name is Alhaji Jelili Adepoju, Mogaji Ile Akoto in Labiran area of Ibadan. I was surprised when I saw the news.
“What they are saying is not for us. Our own Akoto is in the Labiran area of Ibadan. Our family is not in contention with any family over any land. We are not land grabbers.
“The one they are referring to is at Isale Osi, Ido Arere, it is not our own Akoto. I want the members of the public to know this. My family is a peace-loving family. We are not in dispute with any family over any land”.
