Empower us to tackle land grabbing, traditiona­lists tell Ogun

- From Peter Moses, Abeokuta

Traditiona­lists have called on the Ogun State Government to review its land grabbing laws with a view to empowering the traditiona­l institutio­n to resolve land disputes.

They said this was necessary to tackle the menace of land grabbing in different parts of the state which had led to disputes.

The traditiona­lists made the call at a meeting with a real estate developer, Osokoya Adewale Morenikeji, at the palace of the Tami of Odogbolu, Oba Leke Oludipe, in Odogbolu LGA of the state.

The meeting, which was attended by community leaders, chiefs, traditiona­lists and other stakeholde­rs, was organised to find a lasting solution to the crises associated with land grabbing in the state.
