The Police Officers were accused of abuse of office, official corruption, illegal arrest and detention, harbouring of criminals and obstruction of higher authority investigation in the force, calling on Police boss and other concerned authorities to call the alleged Police Officers to order in order to give Force Criminal Intelligent Department, Garki, Abuja, to conclude its investigation on the subject matter.

The Police Officers were accused of conniving with the suspects to evade being charged to court for offence of obtaining by false pretence and forcibly entering into land illegally, conspired to defraud, kidnapping, threat to life and terrorising the bona fide owner of the landed property.

The petition dated Monday April 3rd, 2017 signed by MIRAJ’s National Amir, Mallam Adeniyi Alimi Adams, maintained that part of the plot by the suspects was that their agents were caught while trying to bury the charms on the land, adding that they were caught and as well recorded on the fateful day and were taken to the Divisional Police Station, Awo in Egbedore Local Government area of Osun State, where they made a confessional statement before Investigating Police Officer (IPO).
