Residents of Ikangba, Agoro, Imodi, and Imosan communities in Odogbolu Local Government Area of Ogun State have appealed to the Ogun State Government to take action against land grabbers in their areas. During a press conference, the indigenes urged authorities to carefully review court judgments and investigate threats against community leaders.
They also called for protection of traditional institutions and prevention of violence. The dispute dates back five years, beginning with an artisan's claim to the ancestral land. Despite a favorable court ruling in 2024, a new group led by Bashiru Thomas challenged the community's ownership in 2026. Police officers from Obalende Division and Ogun State Command have allegedly been harassing residents involved in the land dispute.
