A Nigerian Army Major, Azeez Tijani, has been caught in a land fraud scandal that has gone on for about three years now.
SaharaReporters learnt that Major Tijani allegedly sold land to one Olanrewaju in Iguomo community in Kwara State in 2018 but failed to release the land documents to the buyer.
The victim narrated that instead, the army officer had been threatening his life and telling him to forget about the money and stay off the property – about 10 plots which he (Olanrewaju) used for farming.
Seventy years next Wednesday, February 3, life has been kind to a former National Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party and later, Chairman of the National Identity Management Company, Olagunsoye Oyinlola, who spent his productive years serving his fatherland in the Nigerian Army.

One of the very few people in this country, who have been fortunate to rule two states at different times, is Olagunsoye Oyinlola, a prince of Okuku, Osun State. He was a Military Administrator of Lagos State from December 1993 to August 1996.
Nine years after leaving Lagos, he was sworn in as the elected governor of Osun State on May 29, 2003 and remained on the seat till November 26, 2010. He later became the National Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party and later, Chairman of the National Identity Management Company (NIMC).
