Ibile debunks assaulting businesswoman, woman seeks IGP’s intervention after allege attack

A Lagos-based businesswoman, Adeyinka Igbinoba, has called on the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Attorney General of Lagos State and National Human Rights Commission to ensure that a land agent, Saheed Abdullahi Mosadoluwa, popularly known as Ibile and the chairman and CEO of Redbrick Homes International Limited, promoters and developers of Amen Estate, Sade Balogun, are made to pay for the injustice done to her. Mrs. Igbinoba said she is currently reeling in pain from a broken leg allegedly sustained during an attack by Mosadoluwa, for daring to ask him to refund N30 million collected from her siblings. Igbinoba on May 23, 2022, walked into The Guardian’s Editorial reception on crutches, aided by her husband and driver, in tears. She accused Mosadoluwa of brutalising her and her brother-in-law his office premises in Victoria Garden City (VGC), Lagos, seven months ago. She told The Guardian, she had paid N30 million to Mosadoluwa as part of a payment to purchase a parcel of land worth 120 million. After payment, Igbinoba alleged that her siblings discovered that Mosadoluwa was making an attempt to defraud them and subsequently demanded a refund. The businesswoman said when efforts to get a refund proved abortive, her siblings petitioned the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). As the investigation into the case was ongoing, Igbinoba said her mother intervened and Mosadoluwa decided to meet them for further deliberation. She attended the meeting alongside her mother, brother-in-law and siblings at Mosadoluwa’s office on Landbook Properties, Eleganza Complex, opposite VGC. She said: “Mosadoluwa had placed his thugs around the venue. Innocently, we went to his office and my mom pleaded with him to refund the money, but he asked us to withdraw the case from the EFCC.” She said the family asked him if he wanted to withdraw, he should issue a bank draft so they could have a guarantee before withdrawing the matter. She said Ibile flared up and ordered his thugs to pounce on her and her brother-in-law. According to her, on seeing this, she brought out her phone to record, but Mosadoluwa attacked her. She claimed the businessman also took a plank, and aimed it at her head but she dodged the attack. Asked if the case was reported to the police, she said she reported it at the Ajiwe Police Station, Ajah, and Mosadoluwa was invited, but he didn’t show up. Instead, he called her mom and bragged that he wasn’t the one that broke her leg. When contacted, Mosadoluwa said Igbinoba’s siblings did not purchase the land directly from him, adding that the transaction took another turn when the siblings alleged a case of fraud against him. He said one of her siblings purchased a parcel of land worth N120 million and deposited N30 million so the land won’t be sold to anybody, but could not balance up the payment. He said the company paid a 5per cent commission to the agent, and when the family returned for a refund, the company debited 5per cent and 25per cent , which is a normal procedure in real estate when the buyer requests a refund. But the siblings wrote to the EFCC that the company defrauded them. Speaking with The Guardian, Balogun denied complicity in the matter. Also, the Force Police Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, said the Inspector General of Police (IGP) monitoring unit was on the matter, adding that justice would be served.
