- The Plateau state governor has issued a warning to some ancestral land grabbers in the state
- Simon Lalong said those who forcefully annexed homes and villages in the state would be forced out soon than expected
- According to the governor, nobody would be allowed to take the land from the original owners in the state
Governor Simon Lalong of Plateau state has said that those who forcefully annexed ancestral homes and villages of Plateau people would soon be forced out.
Lalong gave the warning on Tuesday, November 13, in Gashish community of Barkin Ladi Local Government, when he inspected the site of the proposed Mobile Police Squadron.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), reports that the community recently came under heavy attacks that left many people dead, while the survivors fled from the area.
NAN also reports that the attackers have occupied the communities and taken over their houses, lands, livestock and economic trees.

But an angry Lalong told the “foreign” occupants that they would soon be pushed out.
“Nobody will take the land from the original owners. If you are occupying somebody’s land or house, know that you are living on borrowed time.
“It is not a matter of choice, you will be forced out soon.
“This is not just in Gashish; it will cover the entire state. We will not allow anybody to take over another person’s property,” he declared
He advised the illegal occupants of the houses to vacate them, saying that government would restore peace and resettle displaced persons to their original places.
He however, implored the people to learn to live in peace with one another, saying that government’s efforts would amount to nothing if the people would not embrace peace.
Lalong appreciated President Muhammadu Buhari, through the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, for granting approval for the establishment of the mobile police squadron.
The governor also commended Nigeria Electricity Supply Company (NESCO), for donating the facility that would serve as a temporary abode for the take-off of the police squadron.
According to him, government will immediately start the renovation of the structures provided by NESCO to enable the prompt take-off of the Police outfit.
He equally commended the community for donating 75 rooms that would be used on temporary basis.
Dickson Chollom, Chairman, Barkin Ladi Local Government, in a remark, appreciated the state government’s commitment towards the restoration of peace in the area.
Mr Bitrus Doro, a community leader, who also spoke, said that the community had been clamouring for the establishment of police mobile barracks in the area for 15 years, and expressed happiness that the dream had come to reality.
He however, appealed to the state government to construct another road to serve as an alternative route in view of the security situation.
“The security situation is compounded by the lack of an alternative road linking the community.
“We appeal to you to construct another road that would serve as an alternative to the one we have,” he said.
Lazarus Bewarang, representative of NESCO, listed the property donated by the company to include a block of four rooms and two sitting rooms, and a large hall with seven rooms.
Others included a building of six rooms, six sitting rooms and six kitchens, a three bedroom flat, club for recreation as well as a Police outpost.

Lalong is nothing but a Fulani slave.
His days at the govt house will soon be over.

Lalong is lying.

Buhari will not like this

After Gov.Lalong was engrossed with sai baba zombiesm,the killer fulanis moved in to ravage the natives, killed many and displaced them from their ancestral land.

It's so painfully that this same man jeered @ Gov. Ortom even insulting him that the state anti-grazing laws is the cause of the calamity that befell Benue then only for the marauding & killer fulanis to move over to Plateau thereafter.

This is a political statement from lalong.

Believe Lalong at your own peril.
He wants a second time and he won't risk it by going against Buhari boys.

This asslicker is trying to right his wrongs with the indigenes because of election. We all know that he doesn't mean what he said. I believe plateau people are wise enough to outsmart the ploy by this Buhari houseboy

All this while Governor Simon Lalong just came back to Plateau state, he seen not to understand how Plateau people feel all this years is now that election is at hand, they are still trying deceive people again
