The Ekiti State Government, has lamented the increasing pending land matters in various courts and family land disagreements in the state, warning that
the crisis is ripping many towns apart and causing disunity across the 16 Local Government Areas of the State.
The government’s intervention followed a petition written by a section of Agbaakin family of Okeruku Quarters, Ikere Ekiti, claiming that some members were planning to demolish some houses to reclaim some plots of land sold to developers on the contentious land. “It is sad that many families and communities that were supposed to be united and progress speedily have been torn apart by land disputes. Most disturbing is the fact that the money they are supposed to spend to build houses and educate their children are wasted on frivolous cases in courts.
The Deputy Governor told the family head and those opposed to his leadership to withdraw all their cases in Court and convene a peace meeting to resolve all pending issues amicably.
