PLOT TO ROB OLAKANLA'S FAMILY OF LAND INHERITANCE THICKENS

As far as 2019, the Aare Olakanla's Family made public announcement on local radio that it's land at Oke Oba is not available for sale. But land grabbers continues to mount pressure through various means at times cajoling members of the family or exploring blackmail to force their way into the land

Hectares of land have been disposed of in questionable circumstances and by those who do not have the least of authority to do so thereby forcing the family to fight back.

The latest is a request purportedly made to the Aare of Ago-Are to make available two plots of land for the establishment of a Shea butter processing company. The idea was sold to the family as a mark of community development and moreso when the incumbent traditional ruler is from the family.

However, what is happening as witnessed yesterday at Oke Oba is totally in a different direction. Not only was an acre of land surveyed instead of two plots requested, the plots were shared to members of a religious organization in the community.

Ironically, young members of the Family who own farms in the location and those who already have survey plans to build their houses in the location were forced to vacate the land for what has now turned. to another smart way of land grabbing.

The family is now crying foul and two chiefs have been fingered out in preliminary investigations.
