LAGOS—Pandemonium broke out when some policemen hired by some land grabbers invaded and attacked the serene village of Iragon community in the Badagry Local Government Area of Lagos State.

One Alhaji Saheed Abimbola based in Mile Two, Amuwo suburb of Lagos was said to had  led over fifty miscreants to unleash terror on hapless villagers over a disputed two plots of land. They ran out of luck when they were overrun by the villagers who seized three policemen.

An eyewitness, who spoke to Vanguard, described the ugly incident as horrific but said more suprising were the police officers who allegedly led over fifty hoodlums from Mile Two, Amuwo Odofin area of Lagos armed with dangerous weapons and charms  to vandalise the Baale’s residence.

The hoodlums also allegedly planned to take the Baale away as they shot sporadically into the air.

It was learned that that the spate of the shootings angered the entire community who mobilised the youths and elders to repel the attack which led to apprehension of  three policemen who have since been handed over to the Department of State Service, DSS, in Badagry by the Baale, Chief Francis Sedowhe.

It was gathered that the policemen were detailed by a senior police officer attached to X-Squad at the Lagos State Police Command Headquarters, who was alleged to be acting on the instance of one Alhaji Saheed.

The X-Squad team and the area boys were led into the community by another team of policemen from the Morogbo Police Station along the Lagos -Badagry Expressway.
