The Lagos State Government, in an attempt to restore confidence in Government schemes, has reclaimed the encroached portion of Ikorodu GRA Scheme III, located in Odonla, Lucky Fibre axis of Ikorodu.
According to a statement, the Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Dr. Idris Salako, stated in Alausa that the state government had to dislodge the illegal occupants and return the affected portion of land to the original allottees, who were with certificates of occupancy issued by the Lands Bureau.
He said that the move was “to restore confidence in Government schemes, give deserved restitution to the rights of the original allottees and also forestall the bastardisation of the scheme.”
Salako said that the action was prompted by the unlawful ejection of the rightful owners from their properties, the unconscionable development by usurpers and the deafening complaints of allottees, noting that it was a follow-up to the service of statutory notices, including the stop-work order of February 4th, 2022.
He warned that land grabbers parading themselves as ‘Omo-Onile’ should stop further encroachment on government land, while urging unsuspecting buyers to beware of such land offers.
