Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State has advised residents of the state, especially rural dwellers, to beware of land grabbers in their communities.
Makinde made this declaration during the funeral and thanksgiving service in honour of late Elizabeth Areola Abeo Oke, mother of National President of Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, , Bishop Wale Oke. The event was held on Friday at James Oke Memorial Anglican Church, Kasumu, in Ibadan. The governor while speaking explained that there are indications that land grabbers would invade many communities in the state.
'Let me say it again that those who have landed properties here should not sell them. Not only those around Kasumu side but also Owobaalé axis. Also, the location before we get to the Infectious Disease Centre at Olodo, that is the location we were planning to site the Dry Port before we thought of converting it to a container terminal. “It would still be on the old narrow gauge and if you go further up, we have the Circular Road, which is also hitting this place.
