The Ewusi of Makun-Kingdom in Sagamu Area of Ogun State, Oba Timothy Akinsanya, has expressed frustration over the inability of the state government to stop the alleged invasion of his community by land grabbers.

He said some land grabbers invaded communities in Makun with dangerous weapons and injured residents.

The monarch, while speaking with journalists at his palace on Sunday, gave the state government a seven-day ultimatum to intervene over the invasion

The traditional ruler threatened to lead a protest and block major roads in the Sagamu area of the state if the government failed to stop the alleged invasion of his.comminity.

He said his people might be forced to resort to self help if nothing was done within the next seven days to.prevebt them from constant attacks.

He said, “We are not threatening, it is a statement of fact. We have demonstrated to the Akarigbo’s palace. We have been to the House of Assembly, but they are taking it lightly. Enough is enough, my people cannot continue to run from their homes. After seven days, we are not going to take it lightly

“I have been begging my people not to take the law into their own hands, but now I am going to lead them.

“We shall be staging a peaceful protest that shall lock down Sagamu township in the next seven days if our government fails to act accordingly to forestall likely reprisal from our community.

“In the same vein, we urge the Inspector General of the Nigerian Police Force to do all that is in his capacity to ensure that a looming communal clash that may further threaten our peaceful co-existence is being abated.”
