Ajiran Youths Insists AiG Jimoh Is Compromising, Demand Independent Probe into Murder Cases



A group of youths from the Ajiran community in Eti-Osa Local Government Area of Lagos State has insisted that Assistant Inspector-General of Police (AIG), Moshood Jimoh, is compromising the investigation into the murder of two community members, alleging that his handling of the case has undermined public confidence in the justice process.

Addressing journalists in Lagos, Lanre Adebayo and isreal Oluwatoyin, who spoke on behalf of the group alleged that the AIG had failed to conduct an impartial investigation into the killings, insisting that his actions had raised serious concerns about transparency and accountability.

The youths claimed that rather than ensuring a fair and comprehensive investigation, the police authorities under Jimoh's supervision had allegedly ignored critical evidence and pursued what they described as a selective approach to the cases.

According to the group, the murder case has generated widespread anxiety within the Ajiran community, with residents demanding justice for the victims and a credible investigation free from external influence.

"We can no longer remain silent while the integrity of this investigation continues to be questioned. The handling of this case has eroded public trust and created the impression that powerful interests are influencing the course of justice," a spokesperson for the group said.

They called on the Inspector-General of Police and the Police Service Commission to immediately review the conduct of the investigation and constitute an independent panel to examine the circumstances surrounding the murder case.

The youths also appealed to the Federal Government and relevant human rights bodies to monitor the investigation to ensure that justice is served without fear or favour.

They maintained that their demand was not intended to undermine the Nigeria Police Force but to restore confidence in the criminal justice system by ensuring that every suspect is investigated and prosecuted strictly based on credible evidence.

The group further warned that any attempt to suppress legitimate concerns over the investigation could heighten tensions in the community, urging authorities to act swiftly in the interest of justice and peace.

The allegations come amid sustained public interest in the Ajiran murder case, which has attracted divergent reactions from civil society groups and community stakeholders. 

The group declare support for VeryDarkMan efforts in trying to unmask the conspiracy of the police under AIG Jimoh. 

It recalled that VeryDarkMan had publicly accused AIG Jimoh of being “extremely corrupt” and “a threat to the justice system,” daring him to sue for criminal defamation if the claims were false.

Court Sets Aside Arrest, Remand, Wanted Declaration Against Hammed Tajudeen Akanbi

A Magistrate Court sitting in Ogba, Ikeja, Lagos, has set aside its earlier ex-parte order authorizing the arrest, remand, and “wanted” declaration of Hammed Tajudeen Akanbi, also known as Hammed Ajiran. The development follows the earlier declaration of Akanbi as wanted for alleged multiple murder by the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Moshood Olorundare Jimoh, on February 19, 2026. However, in a ruling delivered today, Magistrate L.A. Owolabi of Magistrate Court 3 nullified the ex-parte order initially granted on February 16, 2026. In his decision, Magistrate Owolabi held that the order was obtained through the concealment of material facts. The court specifically noted that the counsel who filed and argued the application, Nosa Watson Uhumwangho, was under suspension by the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee at the time and therefore lacked the right of audience before the court. The ruling sparked jubilation among members of the youth wing of the Ojomu royal family, who...

Lagos Lawyer, Ajulo, Labels AIG Moshood Jimoh 'Incompetent,' Demands Independent Review of Ajiran Killings Probe

A Lagos-based lawyer, Adedotun Ajulo Esq, has described the Assistant Inspector-General of Police (AIG), Moshood Jimoh, as "incompetent and renewed his call for an independent review of the police investigation into the killings in Ajiran Community. Ajulo made the remarks in a statement issued in response to a publication titled "Ajiran killings: Groups, Stakeholders Exonerate AIG Jimoh Moshood from Corrupt Allegations, Refutes Defamatory Statement as Fallacy,"* in which several groups defended the senior police officer against allegations surrounding the handling of the murder investigation. According to the lawyer, public endorsements and declarations of support cannot replace transparency and accountability in restoring public confidence in the justice system. "Public confidence in the administration of justice cannot be restored through endorsements or public declarations. Confidence is earned through a process that is demonstrably impartial, transparent, and ca...

Court Cautions Police, Orders Proper Invitation of Hammed Tajudeen Akanbi

A Lagos State Magistrate Court has cautioned the Lagos State Police Command and directed that proper procedures be followed in the handling of the case involving Mr. Hammed Tajudeen Akanbi, also known as Hammed Ajiran, in what is seen as a setback for individuals including Bashir Fakorede, Jide Akinloye, and Assistant Inspector-General of Police, AIG Jimoh Moshood. Presiding over proceedings in the Ogba Magisterial District, Magistrate A. J. Odueke, in Charge No: MISC/126/2026, held that the police must formally invite Akanbi rather than declare him wanted. The Court further stated that an order for arrest would only be considered if he fails to honour such an invitation. The Court noted that it was mindful of previous proceedings in Charge No: MCIK/60A/2026, where a similar application had earlier been set aside by another Magistrate on March 23, 2026, on the grounds of illegality. Consequently, the Court declined to entertain what it described as a repetition of a defective process. ...
