Ogun Businessman Azeez Ashiru Demands Legal Action Review

Azeez Ashiru, a businessman from Ogun State, has renewed his call for the state Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Oluwasina Ogungbade, to review the Directorate of Public Prosecutions' legal advice concerning a case involving alleged assault, robbery, and the use of dangerous weapons against his family. Ashiru's lawyer, Ayodeji Ifonlaja, has requested the ministry to address alleged bail breaches by the suspects and respond to a petition seeking a review of the charges.

This demand follows a previous report on September 28, 2026, where Ashiru protested the dropping of several charges. The Ogun State High Court dismissed a fundamental rights suit by the suspects on September 30, 2026, with Justice O.

S. Oloyede presiding. Ifonlaja contends that the dismissal should not hinder the criminal allegations from being independently assessed.

He emphasized that the existence of a land dispute does not excuse the alleged criminal offenses. The lawyer also cited a previous case involving Ashiru from 2024, expressing concerns about the suspects jumping bail.
