A fugitive landgrabber, Mukaila Salau, also known as an Actor, has been accused of murdering Kazeem Idowu Keshinro, a staffer of Ikosi-Ejirin local government, on Easter Monday, 1st of April, 2024, for reasons yet to be determined.
The chilling video of Kazeem Idowu in which he was soaked in blood and his body was rife with bullets was captured as he recounted how he was suddenly ambushed, attacked, shot several times and matched on orders of one Mukaila Salau aka Actor, a suspected violent land grabber who was physically present at the scene, while he was out hunting in the Ota area of Ikorodu, Lagos State.
Due to the severity of the dastard attack, the victim sadly passed away after a few days.
Abdulhakeem Keshinro, the victim’s empathetic brother, emphasized there has never been any interaction between his younger brother and Salau, but he was shocked to learn of the attack.
Following the attack, a petition was written to the Nigerian Police to officially report the incident.
The petition sighted by this platform partly read:
‘’On the 1st of April, 2024 our Client was on his way back from the farm from checking his traps at Ota Ikosi, via Agbowa, Lagos State when he was waylaid and accosted by some cultists, bandits and terrorists led by (1) MUKAILA OLALEKAN SALAU (A.K.AACTOR)(2) AHMED (A.K.A.

‘’That our Client who was not familiar with the aforementioned assailants and their band of terrorists, cultists and bandits innocently walked into the midst of the said assailants who were armed with guns, cutlasses, broken bottles, sticks, iron rods and other dangerous weapons along the Akeo – Ota Ikosi road, and our Client was immediately held and/or seized by the aforementioned assailants and their said band of terrorists, cultists and bandits who thereupon demanded to know where our Client was coming from, and where he was going.’’
Speaking further on actions that have been taken, Abdulhakeem said the family had returned to the police station and updated them on the developments, and are earnestly pleading that justice be carried out on the death of his younger brother.
When contacted, Lagos Command Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin confirmed the incident, adding that it has been transferred to SCIID, Panti.
He said efforts are on to apprehend the perpetrators.
It would be recalled that in 2020, the then Assistant Inspector General of Police Zone 2, AIG Ahmed Illiyasu, ordered operatives to arrest cult leaders and members terrorizing members of the public due to the rise in nefarious cult activities in the Ikorodu axis of Lagos State.
Mukaila, alias “Actor”, was alleged to have been arrested and paraded by operatives from the Tactical Unit of Zone 2 Command, Onikan, Lagos, in May of 2020.
A pump action gun, charms, and another dangerous weapon were recovered from Mukaila.
In a statement, the AIG explained that he had ordered the arrest of cult leaders, which led to the gathering of information about a cult leader, Mukaila, accused of terrorizing some communities in Ikorodu, Lagos.
