The Oyo State Government has said that there will be no more hiding place for land grabbers operating in the state, as they will henceforth face prosecution.
The Deputy Governor, Chief Adebayo Lawal, made this known on Friday while inaugurating members of the state Task Force Unit for the enforcement of the Real Property Protection Law, 2016.
The inauguration was held at the Executive Council Chambers, Governor’s Office, State Secretariat, Agodi in Ibadan.
Lawal said the Law was enacted in 2016 to curb the activities of land grabbers by frontally tackling their menace.
He said that the Law has not taken effect ever since, because the task force has not been inaugurated.
The task force will be headed by a retired judge of the Oyo State High Court, His Lordship, Retired Justice O.I. Aiki, a jurist of high repute.
In her remarks, Aiki appreciated the state government for finding her and members of the Task Force Unit, worthy of their appointments.
She, therefore, sought the supports and cooperation of residents of the state in the discharge of their duties.
The 17-member task force included representatives of the Nigeria Police and Amotekun Corps.
