The Ogun State Government says it will revoke the title of all abandoned lands being used as illegal dumpsites.

In a statement signed by the Chief Executive Officer of the Ogun State Waste Management Authority (OGWAMA), OLA ORESANYA, the state government said this became necessary for security reasons.

According to OLA ORESANYA, the state government took the decision after it discovered that several parcels of land abandoned by their owners had been converted to illegal dumpsites, which are now a haven for ritualists and armed robbers.

He advised owners of such abandoned land spaces to immediately clear them of waste and restore them to their original state or risk forfeiting them.

According to him, the state government will not fold its hands and watch the carelessness of a few individuals become a major security and health risks to the good people of Ogun.
