Lagos Vows Clampdown On Land-grabbing by Samuelriano(m): 8:56am On Sep 27, 2021 |
The Lagos State Ministry of Justice has
resolved to address land grabbing in the
state, as property transactions have now
been greatly hindered by the activities of
the Omo-Onile and Ajagungbales .
A statement on Sunday said the Attorney
General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr
Moyosore Onigbanjo, who was
represented by the Director, Office of the
Public Defender, Dr Babajide Martins,
stated this at a stakeholders meeting held
to sensitise residents of Epe and Ibeju
communities on the nefarious activities
of land grabbers and the State Property
Protection Law.
Onigbanjo stated that the rising cases of
land grabbing were an issue of great
concern to the state government.
He said, “As part of efforts to address the
issue of land-grabbing in the state, the
Lagos State Government enacted a law to
prohibit the forceful entry and illegal
occupation of landed property, as well as
violent and fraudulent conducts
concerning the landed property in
Lagos.”
The commissioner emphasised that the
law on land grabbing, enacted in 2016,
still stood regardless of one’s status in
the society.
On his part, the Oba Alara of Ilara
Kingdom, Olufolarin Ogunsanwo, said
that land grabbers, for decades, had
constituted a threat to property
acquisition in Lagos.
He urged the present administration and
the Police to ensure immediate
prosecution of identified land grabbers
and their sponsors to serve as a deterrent
to others.
