Ogun State Government has vowed to revoke land title document on all abandoned land spaces, being used as illegal dump sites across the State for security reasons.
The Special Adviser to the Governor on Environment and Chief Executive Officer of the Ogun State Waste Management Authority, Mr. Ola Oresanya, who issued the threat in a statement, explained that government took the decision after it was discovered that several parcels of land abandoned by their owners have been converted to illegal dump sites, which are now haven for ritualists and den for armed robbers.
Oresanya stated that the abandoned land spaces converted to illegal dump sites constitute security risks to their immediate communities and pose major health risks, hence the need to revoke the land title document on them in public interest.
He advised owners of such abandoned land spaces to immediately clear and restore to their original state or risk forfeiting them, as the State government would not fold its hands and watch the carelessness of few individuals to become a major threat to the people.
