SHOCKING: 9ice Battles Attempted Murder Allegation in Land Dispute
Popular Nigerian musician Alexander Adegbola Akande, 9ice, has been accused of orchestrating a violent attack against two individuals – Mr. Gbenga Olubunmi and Mr. Ifeoluwa Waheed Olubunmi – in a land dispute case in Ogun State.
A petition filed by Moses Ade-Ojo (Esq.) on behalf of the victims to the Ogun State Commissioner of Police, Biodun Alamutu, details allegations of criminal assault, battery, and attempted murder against 9ice and approximately 30 unidentified accomplices.
According to the petition in possession of Abuja City Journal, dated October 10, 2024, the incident occurred on September 23, 2024, when 9ice and his gang allegedly stormed the property of the complainants, Mr. Gbenga Olubunmi and Mr. Ifeoluwa Waheed Olubunmi, armed with various dangerous weapons.
The attack left both men severely injured.
The petition states that 9ice physically assaulted the complainants, using an iron rod to strike them on the head and other parts of their bodies, resulting in grievous bodily harm.
His armed thugs were said to have joined in the brutal assault, employing dangerous weapons like wooden planks and bottles.
“Mr. Alexander Adegbola Akande Abolore A.K.A 9ice pounced on Our Clients with an Iron and slammed it on Our Clients’ Heads, and other parts of their bodies which occassioned grievous bodily injuries and harm on our Clients since the day of the horrible incidence,” the petition reads.
According to sources familiar with this development, trouble started when a land purchased by 9ice allegedly encroached on those of Messrs Olubunmi at a property around Orile-Imo vide Owode, Ogun state around September 2024.
“In the process, argument ensued. 9ice leading a band of thugs numbering about 30 while 9ice personally held weapons to hit the victims.”
The victims stated that they “have severely suffered grievous bodily harm, dehumanization, trauma, brutality, criminally assaults, by the conspiracy, criminal assaults, battery, wounding, and the attempted murder” from 9ice and his gang’s actions on the fateful day.
It was further gathered that emergency services were summoned to the scene while police officers were drafted to scurry the injured to the hospital.
The victims have entertained fear that statements made by 9ice while committing the assault, when he allegedly boasted that he would kill the complainants without consequence, may not allow their cae fly
asserting his 9ice was accused to have further boasted that his status as a celebrity offered him immunity that would shield him from legal repercussions.
In light of the allegations, the petition calls for the urgent arrest and prosecution of 9ice and his accomplices, stressing “the need for justice to be served and for the Nigerian police to demonstrate their commitment to upholding the law, regardless of an individual’s celebrity status.”
The petition urges the Commissioner of Police to take swift action, reflecting a growing public demand for accountability and justice in cases involving violent crime.
Abuja City Journal made efforts to speak to 9ice for his comment but to no avail
