Ogun police plan to arraign two over alleged ₦11m farmland fraud
Police say the case concerns a payment for 20 acres of farmland in Apora village.
ABEOKUTA, 12 November 2026 — The Ogun State Police Command says it plans to arraign two men before the Federal High Court in Abeokuta over an alleged ₦11 million farmland fraud. As of 12 November, IDNN could not verify whether the hearing took place.
Police spokesperson Oluseyi Babaseyi said the command had concluded its investigation into allegations of advance fee fraud, money laundering and criminal conspiracy. He said the two men, Oluwaseyi Oluwatosin Olaleye and Tirisimiyu Balogun, were expected to appear in court to enter their pleas. IDNN could not verify the formal counts, any pleas or any bail or remand ruling.
Police allege that the two men and another person obtained ₦11 million from Kazeem Olalekan Olanrewaju between June and November 2025 on the promise of selling him 20 acres of cocoa and kola nut farmland in Apora village. The command said Olanrewaju petitioned police over the transaction and alleged that he received neither the land nor a refund.
The command said it was still seeking a third person in connection with the case. The two men are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
