The Commissioner of Police of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command, CP Ajao Saka Adewale has bemoaned the rising cases of land grabbing in Abuja, warning that the menace is scaring investors, draining public trust, and worsening the city’s investment climate.
CP Adewale stated this at the official launch of Property Brokers International Magazine in Abuja.
His words: “The issue of land grabbing is creating a bad image, which is making investments difficult. People have been losing their money on land grabbing and fraudulent documentation,”.
According to Adewale, a collaboration of law enforcement agencies with investigative journalists could help stem the tide this ugly menace as well as expose culprits. He also stressed that the collaboration will ensure prosecution and discourage fraudulent practices in the sector.
He also stated: “With investigative journalists like Mikey Badin working with us, there will be sanity in the industry. If offenders know they will be arrested and prosecuted, crime and criminality will reduce,”.
