The National appointment of socialite and top rate businessman Olajide Awosedo is threatened.
This is as a result of a growing campaign for President Buhari to withdraw his appointment as a member of the Board of the National Hospital, Abuja.
This snowballing movement against Awosedo is premised on a 26 count charge case of fraud instituted against the popular politician and promoter of grant properties.
Lagos state government is accusing Awosedo of fraudulently selling of land belonging to the Assets Management Corporation of Nigeria.
According to the charge sheet – dated February 16, 2018 – Awosedo allegedly illegally sold several landed properties belonging to the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON) to 26 unsuspecting buyers in contravention of section 8 (1) (b) of the Lagos State Properties Protection Law, 2016 popularly known as the Land Grabbers’ Law.
He faces 21 years in prison if convicted of the case being prosecuted at the Lagos State Special Offences Court, Bolade, Oshodi, Lagos State.
To his credit, Awosedo had initially raised alarm over alleged strong-arm tactics by one of his creditor in collusion with AMCON to clandestinely take away “his land” from him.
Emerging details revealed that the facts of the case – from the prosecutors point of view – are being used to campaign against the troubled Awosedo, for President Buhari to take away his national appointment.
