Leaders
of Okunraye community, one of the villages hosting the Lekki Free Trade Zone,
in the Ibeju Lekki area of Lagos State told a Lagos State High Court in
Igbosere on Tuesday that the police were responsible for the killing of the
Managing Director of the free trade zone, Alhaji Tajudeen Disu.

This
claim was in an affidavit in support of a Fundamental rights suit filed before
a Lagos High Court against the Police, Directorate of State Security (DSS) and
Dangote group.
The
leaders, who condemned the detention of members of their community, alleged
that contrary to reports on the incident, Disu was hit from behind by a stray
bullet by the Lagos Mobile Policemen which killed him instantly.
The
community also sued the Inspector General of Police, Lagos Police Commissioner,
Special Anti-robbery Squad (SARS), the Nigerian Army and Ibeju Lekki Local
Government.
One
Alhaji Surajudeen Salami, who deposed to the affidavit, recalled that the Lagos
State Government, sometime in 2007, forcefully acquired their land from them.
