In two separate petitions written to IGP , the Petitioners, through their lawyer, Olakunle Ilesanmi, urged the IGP to investigate one ACP Elleman regarding his alleged connection with land grabbers tormenting their community.
The petitioners are, Lawal Shosanya, Chief Kazeem Shosanya, Salaudeen Afuwape, Dada Ominiya, Shuaibu Ominiya, Sulaiman Shosanya, Chief Dipo Shosanya, and Ibrahim Sosanya.

The petition dated November 30, 2020, the petitioners stated that one Abubakar Mayaki, a civilian who has been parading himself as a Police officer, and as a brother to IGP alongside one Lekan Kasali have engaged land grabbers to invade Owode Ibeshe community.

The IGP Monitoring Unit came to Lagos and in connection with Mopol 63, Igbogbo Ikorodu visited the scene of the event and we’re able to arrest some of the culprits and were taken to Ikeja Police Command for onward transmission to Abuja when ACP Elleman ordered that the culprits be released not withstanding the fact that the culprits were found with dangerous weapons”, they stated.
