Don’t fight land grabbers, go to court; CP tells Lagosians
The Commissioner of Police in Lagos State, Abiodun Alabi, has advised residents especially, community leaders not to take the law into their hands, but head to court when land grabbers (Omo Onile) encroach on their property.
“If you have a case regarding land or any other matter, go to the court instead of resorting to self-help,” Mr Alabi said in an interview on Wednesday.
He warned land grabbers against causing crises in the state, just as he vowed to bring the full weight of the law on any of them if they do and are caught.
“I know we have a task force on land grabbers in the state. We are strengthening all mechanisms to check land grabbing and other crimes in the state.
“There have been crises over land matter in Igberigbe area of Ikorodu and in others. These areas are under police watch seriously.
“Some persons had been arrested in connection with land grabbing. We will continue to arrest and prosecute trouble makers in Lagos,” he said.
The Lagos State Government (LASG) on July 27, 2016, set up a task force to check land grabbing in the state.
