 Oyo Government Demolishes Illegal Structures on Acquired Lands in Ibadan


The Oyo State Government has demolished illegal structures built on government-acquired lands in Ibadan. The demolition exercise took place in Podo, Top One Garden in Oluyole LGA, and Dizengoff in the Kolapo Ishola area.


Commissioner for Lands, Housing, and Urban Development, Williams Akin-Funmilayo, stated that the government would not tolerate any encroachment on its properties. He described those occupying the lands as “land grabbers” rather than legitimate owners or users.


Akin-Funmilayo further explained that prior to the demolition, the government had issued revocation notices to occupants and had properly gazetted the land.


“These lands belong to the Oyo State Government, and we will not allow any illegal occupation. Under Section 3, Subsection 1 of the Oyo State Real Property Protection Law, 2017, anyone found guilty of land grabbing faces up to 15 years imprisonment,” he stated.


He reiterated Governor Seyi Makinde’s commitment to enforcing a zero-tolerance policy on land grabbing and ensuring that state-owned assets serve the collective good of residents.
