Gov. Ambode should assent to this bill immediately.

these land grabbers may resort into new system and that is kidnapping, so there should be another law to make kidnapping life jail for the culprits.

This shows that Lagos state is moving forward.

Its not about the law, even if fully enforced these guys use diabolic means to forcefully collect people's lands.

The IPOB yoots are in trouble.

**** wetin concerns ipob and omo onile? Abi igbo dem dey come collect money for another person state wey no be their own. Honestly hausa better pass Yoruba's.

A very good one indeed.

Finally, good riddance to bad nonsense! Cage the criminals!!

How many years will money grabbers face ?

The salient issue is not making laws, but the will to enforce these laws.

Methinks, Lagos State Tenancy Law is now a toothless bulldog that only bark but cannot bite. Land Lords and Estate Owners/Managers still act with impunity, trampling on their tenants' right without recourse to law.

I don't see how this would stop omoniles from collecting their omonile fees

I don't see how this would stop omoniles from collecting their omonile fees. If government really wants to do this then they should use some people as scape goats first by starting in the ajah area .

the violence they use alone ehn dem deserve am and more sef. mtchewwww. omo onile ko, omo ogbele ni. yeye touts and the fools that make use of them.

Illegal land occupants also known as land grabbers will henceforth face 21 years jail term.
This was the law yesterday passed by the Lagos State House of Assembly prohibiting forceful entry and illegal occupation of landed properties in the state.
According to the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, after the Bill had gone through the Third Reading and finally passed by a voice vote of all members present at plenary session, told the acting Clerk of the House, Mr. Azeez Sanni, to forward a clean copy of the bill to the state Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, for his assent.
According to the provisions of the bill, land grabbers can now face a maximum and minimum of 21 and five year imprisonment respectively if convicted. There are also various fine impositions for individuals or groups convicted of the offence.
The bill provides for prohibition of forceful land take over, entry by force, illegal occupation of property, use of land agents, illegal use of Law enforcement agents, encroaching with a weapon, sales of property without authority and professional misconduct among others with their attendant punishments as regards the particular offence.
The law was read a third time on plenary through a motion moved by the Majority Leader of the House, Sanai Agunbiade. The passage of this bill into law in Lagos State is a huge step towards a lasting solution to the activities of the land grabbers, popularly known as Omo Oniles or Ajagungbales which have become an age long menace in the state.
The law prohibits the incessant forceful entry and illegal occupation of landed properties, violent and fraudulent conducts in relation to landed properties in Lagos State and for connected purposes.
The Speaker of the House, Mudashiru Obasa, urged Governor Ambode to sign the bill into law for enforcement.

Very good. They will weigh it well before harassing & forcing land owners to part with their hard earned money.
