Omotola Adeboyejo, the community head (Baale) of Museyo, in the Ibeju Lekki area of Lagos State, is on the run for allegedly ordering the killing of a man over a land dispute.
Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in the state, SP Benjamin Hundeyin confirmed this in a tweet.
The victim’s daughter, who tweets via the handle @thegaljubril, raised the alarm over the incident on Sunday.
She said that the incident occurred on Saturday, July 15.
According to her, Adeboyejo instructed his police escort to shoot her father, who died immediately.
She said her father was first beaten mercilessly after the Baale hit him with a charm, before the policeman shot him in the head.
