The Lagos State Government has reclaimed the encroached portion of Ikorodu GRA Scheme III located in Odonla, Lucky Fibre axis of Ikorodu.
The Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development, Dr. Idris Salako, who disclosed this in Alausa on Thursday, stated that the State Government had to dislodge the illegal occupants and return the affected portion of land to the original allottees, who hold Certificates of Occupancy issued by the Lands Bureau.
He said that the move was to restore confidence in Government Schemes, give deserved restitution to the original allottees and also forestall bastardisation of the scheme.
Salako said that the action was prompted by the unlawful estrangement of the rightful owners from their property, the unconscionable development by usurpers and the deafening complaints of allottees.
He warned that land grabbers parading themselves as Omo-Onile should stop further encroachment on Government Land while urging unsuspecting buyers to beware of fraudulent land offers.
