HOODLUMS KILL PRINCE OVER LAND DISPUTE IN LAGOS . BY PATIENCE OGBO Barely two days after two persons were confirmed dead in a bloody clash at the Ilaja area of Lagos state over a sand dredging site, another violence , this time over land disputes has lead to the killing of one Ibrahim Balogun, a prince of Isheri Olofin community in the state . Prince Balogun, was said to have been attacked by hired hoodlums who were driving in a car while he was attempting to flee on a commercial motorcycle during the clash between residents of Idimu and Isheri –Olofin who had engaged one another in a fierce fight over landed property. The violence which started on Sunday left several persons injured while properties were also destroyed . The Lagos State Police spokes person Ngozi Braide confirmed the death of prince Ibrahim . It was gathered that violence erupted in the area on Sunday after a High court verdict in Lagos ruled that the disputed land located between the two communities at the Council Bus Stop and Arida area of the state belonged to the indigenes of Isheri Olofin. The verdict which was delivered in April this year was however appealed by the indigenes of Idimu who had been selling the land to prospective buyers . However, it was further gathered that indigenes of Isheri Olofin had stormed the area asking the residents to vacate the land as the land rightfully belonged to them. This did not go down well with the settlers in the land and a fight ensued as the settlers vowed not to leave the property they claimed they have paid millions of naira to purchase. It was in the wake of the forceful eviction led by several hired thugs that the said prince Ibrahim was allegedly killed. The violence also forced schools and several businesses in the area to hurriedly close down on Monday as the two feuding communities engaged one another with guns and other dangerous weapon. Though the police claimed there was no clash in the area, residents however appealed to Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola to wade into the matter in the interest of peace.
