Mr Abdulraheem said the suspects were arrested while allegedly trying to forcefully take possession of land spanning 12 hectares belonging to the Lagos State Ministry of Housing.He said the suspects had been known for perpetrating such acts around the axis for a long time. “The agency has said it times without number that there is no room for land grabbers or Omo-onile in Lagos and anyone still involved in the practice would be made to face the wrath of the law,” he said.

“The Lagos State Government is putting everything in place to actualise its mandate of improvement in physical infrastructure, housing, and security.“We will not condone it now or ever. That is why we are going all out to arrest and prosecute anyone involved in land-grabbing activities,” he said.
