The Prosecution Counsel, Mr Philip Amusan, told the court that the two men committed the offence in 2021 at Lawani village in Ibadan.
Amusan alleged that the defendants and others at large, forcefully took 25 acres of land worth N50 million, belonging to Mr Wasiu Lawani.
He alleged that they also destroyed some economic trees on the land such as cocoa, palm and coconut trees worth N800,000 while threatening violence. Amusan said the defendants conducted themselves in a manner likely to cause a breach of peace by destroying the economic trees with a bulldozer and without justification.
