Police authorities in Abuja have commenced investigations into allegations made on tiktok by a Lagos-based land speculator that some of their officers demanded money for the Inspector General of Police, to settle a land case he is involved in at Ibeku-Lekki area of Lagos State.

However, police sources said his claims were made out of desperation to evade justice after he waylaid and kidnapped the matriarch of popular Oni-Orisan family, Chief Dupe Damazio and manhandled her with his thugs over a land dispute. The story took a different dimension after he allegedly orchestrated an attack against some policemen, who went to invite him over the petition.

Police sources in Abuja said the authorities were not taking the allegations lightly, hence he had been invited to come to Abuja and prove his case, but since then, he has been elusive.
