Chief Olusola Adegboye, the Oluomo of Shasha in Lagos, has accused officers of the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) of extorting N1.5 million and stealing €760 during a raid on his home in December 2024. According to the traditional chief, armed officers stormed his residence without notice, breaking doors and confiscating valuables, including his Nissan Juke SUV.
Adegboye, who also chairs the Board of Trustees for the Human Rights Defenders and Access to Justice Advocacy Centre, claimed the raid followed a petition by his estranged wife in the Netherlands, alleging a kidnapping plot. He stated that officers handcuffed him publicly, demanded bail money, and never returned his seized cash and documents.
Despite filing a lawsuit at the Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Adegboye says his properties remain unrecovered. The FCID’s spokesperson, Seun Olowookere, requested an in-person meeting but failed to provide an official response after six days.
