Lagos Assembly Holds Public Hearing On Land Grabbing

Following the incessant land grabbing across Lagos State, the House of Assembly, yesterday, resolved to hold a public hearing to address the issue, Vanguard newspaper reports.

Moving the motion under ‘Matters of Urgent Public Importance’, earlier, the lawmaker representing Mushin Constituency 2, Mr. Kazeem Olayinka, urged the House to organise a meeting with the stakeholders, to address the problem.

In his remarks, the speaker of the House, Mudashiru Obasa, said: “Land grabbing has become a serious issue that is beyond disturbing. It is chaotic because many people have been killed. “Some maimed and some locked up without trial just because of the existence of some people who have turned themselves into land grabbers.”
