Arrangement has been concluded to demolish illegal structures encroached on ‘Idera Land Scheme’ in lbeju Lekki.
The Chairman of the Lagos State Task Force Mr. Olayinka Egbeyemi told newsmen in a statement issued by the agency spokesperson, Mr. Adebayo Taofik that all illegal structures and shanties encroached on ‘Idera Land Scheme’, Ibeju Lekki would be demolished after the expiration of the 7 days ‘Removal Order’ served by the Agency on Wednesday, 19th of August, 2020.
Mr. Egbeyemi said that the Government had observed with dismay the massive encroachment by individuals, private estate developers and land speculators on lands using them to defraud innocent members of the public into purchasing parcels of land within Government acquisition areas across the State particularly around Ibeju-Lekki corridor.
He implored Lagosians who are interested in purchasing lands in the State, to first verify the Land records at the State Land Registry or Surveyor General’s Office where millions of land documents are stored in the ‘Electronic Data Management System consisting details of documented lands and properties in Lagos in order not to be swindled by land speculators.
The Chairman also warned miscreants, illegal mechanics, food vendors and owners of illegal shanties within Apapa Tin Can Island Park to vacate within 7 days as the entire area is set to be redeveloped and given a new look in line with the T.H.E.M.E agenda of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu in transforming the State into a fuctional and efficient model Mega-City.
He ascertained that a situation where illegal squatters jumped on Government Acquired Land to errect illegal structures and shanties would no longer be tolerated by the Government.
