The Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Dr. Idris Salako has disclosed that the encroached portion of Ikorodu GRA Scheme III located in Odonla, Lucky Fibre has been reclaimed.
He said, on Thursday, that the state government had dislodged the illegal occupants while returning the allotted portions of the land to its rightful owners who bear the Certificates of Occupancy issued by the Lands Bureau.
Salako stated that the reclamation would restore confidence in government schemes via seeking justice for the rightful owner of the property, plus prevent distortion of the scheme.
He revealed that the unlawful possession of the property by land grabbers that denied the rightful owners their lawfully acquired property galvanized the government to action.
The commissioner warned land grabbers to desist from parading themselves as Omo-Onile encroaching on people’s and government properties.
He also urged unsuspecting buyers to do their due diligence well before acquiring properties.
