Buhari Sani Omolori, one of the sons to late Alhaji Mohammed Sani Omolori, the former Oyinoyi of Ebiraland in Kogi State, has petitioned the Commissioner of Police, Special Enquiry Bureau, Force Criminal Investigation (SEB-FCID), Abuja, seeking an investigation into an alleged N7bn property fraud.
The petition marked AAM/EC/SC/V132/022/004/025 dated April 22, 2025, was written as a counter to an earlier petition written by former Clerk of the National Assembly, Abdulrazaq Ataba Sani Omolori, who is also one of the sons to the late monarch.
Ataba had in a petition dated December 1, 2023, accused Buhari of spreading injurious falsehood, defamation, criminal intimidation and cyberstalking.
He made reference to an exclusive story by THE WHISTLER, where Buhari accused him of fraudulently selling off properties belonging to their father and pocketing the proceeds.
Following his petition, the police allegedly swung into action and arrested Buhari for questioning over the allegations.
After his release, Buhari wrote a letter dated February 4, 2025, to Ataba, demanding an apology letter for the psychological trauma and hardship he experienced during his arrest.
Buhari demanded that the apology be published in three national newspapers as well as an additional N50m in damages.
The demands were not met, leading to the counter-petition filed on behalf of himself and his remaining siblings through his counsel, A.A. Mohammed.
The petition reads in parts, “That our client (Buhari) and the Petitioner (Ataba) are among the children of Late Alh. Mohammed Sani Omolori, the former HRH Oyinoyi of Kogi State.
“That after the demise of HRH the lave Alh. Mohammed Sani Omolori, the petitioner dubiously collected all the landed titles documents belonging to HRH Alh. Mohammed Sani Omolori to be for the whole heirs of late Alh. Mohammed Sani Omolori.
“That among the landed properties the petitioner picked without notifying his siblings was the property their late father bought in his company’s name; Kareem Mohammed Tata and Sons Nig. Ltd. situated at Katampe Extension with RC No. 40954 Plot 260, Cadastral Zone B119, with Right Of Occupancy [R of O) No. F.C.T/ABU/MISC.8875.
“That immediately they i.e the siblings of the petitioner found out that there was trespass to the plot of land in 3 above, the counter Petitioner, by the instructions of other heirs applied to the Chief Magistrate Court – Life Camp by direct Criminal Complaint and the petitioner was indicted, attached was the copy of the Police investigation report for your perusal.
“That application was made to the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) for the details of Kareem Muhammed Tata & Sons Limited, for the information of the Company. Attached is the copy of the information for your perusal.
“That other title documents are still with the petitioner which he refused to share with the other children of his late father.
“That our client and other of his brothers and sisters are urging this department to investigate this allegation and bring any offender to book in the interest of justice.”
Buhari also urged the police commissioner to bring the family tussle to end to avoid it leading to physical confrontation.
