Alhaji Shamsudeen Amao Mojeed, the Oba-elect of Isheri-Oshun in the Igando-Ikotun Local Council Development Area (LCDA) of Lagos, has refuted claims made by a company executive that he sponsors cultists. He emphasized that he has no knowledge of cultist activities in the town and has always fostered a peaceful relationship with community members.
Addressing the recent allegations, the Oba-elect stressed that, under his leadership, the community disapproves of any unlawful extortion or exploitation of resources by certain unscrupulous parties targeting community occupants.
He said: “I was surprised to hear on the radio that someone claiming to be Michael Fatoye accused me of parading thugs. As the head of this town, everyone knows I don’t interfere in matters that don’t concern me. I do not know about cults or their activities. I urge the Nigerian and Lagos State governments to come to my aid, as none of my children are involved in cultism.
“We’ve been trying to advise Fatoye regarding the land in Isheri-Osun, which Chief Adewumi purchased from our forefathers a long time ago. After Chief Adewumi’s death, Almarouf was put in charge, but he died five years ago. Fatoye does not have documents proving his authority over the land.”
The community leader appealed to the Lagos State government to intervene.
