On Wednesday, about 10 communities in Sagamu Local Government Area of Ogun State stormed the Okemosan office of Governor Dapo Abiodun, appealing to him to save them from the menace of hoodlums suspected to be land grabbers who they said had invaded their communities to grab their lands.
He said leader of the hoodlums, with the backing of a serving senator in Lagos and alleged connivance of security agents, had been able to seize hectares of lands from their owners. Similarly, 15 communities at Magboro in Obafemi Owode Local Government Area of Ogun State thronged the Ogun State House of Assembly complex last week, to appeal to the state legislators and Governor Dapo Abiodun to help them retrieve their properties from suspected land grabbers.
Speaking on behalf of the residents, Mr Jimi Olusanya, narrated their ordeals to the Speaker of the Ogun State House of Assembly, Hon. Kunle Oluomo, saying the suspected land grabbers allegedly engaged thugs and some police officers from the Ibafo Divisional Police Headquarters to harass and intimidate them, injuring many in the process.
But the state government has promised to put an end to land grabbing activities in Ogun by amending the Anti-Land grabbing Law of Ogun State.
