  • Ikangba Community Urges Ogun Governor to Intervene in Land Crisis, Cites Threat to Lives The people of Ikangba Community in Odogbolu Local Government Area of Ogun State have appealed to the state Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, to urgently intervene in an escalating land dispute which they alleged had resulted in harassment, sporadic shootings and threats to the lives of residents. The community made the appeal at a press conference, where its representatives expressed concern that continued activities by individuals they described as alleged land grabbers could further threaten the peace and security of the area. According to the Oluweri Osundekun, secretary of the Yeye-imule Family Descendants Of Ijebu-ode who addressed the press said that the crisis had also involved the alleged deployment of security personnel in attempts to take possession of its ancestral land, prompting the intervention of security agencies, including the Department of State Services (DSS) and the Nigeria Police Force. The community alleged that two of its indigenes were previously arrested and detained at the DSS office in Abeokuta in connection with the dispute, but were later released after documentary evidence supporting the community’s position was presented and reviewed. It further claimed that the DSS Director, after hearing from the parties and examining the circumstances surrounding the dispute, warned those involved against actions capable of disrupting peace in Ikangba. The community said a similar intervention was made by the Ogun State Commissioner of Police, who reportedly invited the parties, listened to their positions and warned the alleged land grabbers to stay away from the disputed property. Despite these interventions, the community alleged that harassment had continued, with reports of maiming and sporadic shooting on the disputed land. The people of Ikangba also alleged that the alleged land grabbers enjoyed the backing of the Idowa traditional institution, particularly the Dagburewe of Idowa, Oba Sikiru Kayode Adefuwape, whom they accused of contributing to the persistence of the crisis. However, the community stressed that it was not seeking to prejudge the matter or usurp the powers of the courts and security agencies, but wanted the dispute resolved through lawful and due process. It said it had already approached the Ogun State Anti-Land Grabbing Task Force and other relevant security agencies, while also appealing to the state government for intervention. The community therefore urged Governor Abiodun to direct a thorough and impartial investigation into the dispute, protect all parties involved and ensure that ownership of the land was determined through due process. It also called for an immediate halt to the alleged use of security personnel or private agents to intimidate residents, stressing that no individual should be allowed to use influence or connections to dispossess citizens of their ancestral property. The community appealed to the leadership of the DSS and the Nigeria Police Force to ensure that their personnel were not used, directly or indirectly, to enforce private claims in land disputes. While calling on all parties to sheathe their swords and embrace peaceful resolution, the people of Ikangba warned that nobody should be allowed to enter the disputed land with firearms, threaten residents, maim anyone or engage in sporadic shooting while the matter is being resolved. The community urged the Governor, Commissioner of Police, DSS leadership, Anti-Land Grabbing Task Force and other relevant authorities to act swiftly to prevent further escalation. It said its primary demands were justice, peace and protection, stressing that it did not want violence or confrontation with security agencies or traditional institutions. The community appealed to the media to amplify its concerns, saying urgent intervention was necessary to prevent the crisis from claiming an innocent life. The people of Ikangba maintained that they remained committed to peaceful resolution of the dispute and expressed confidence that the state government would ensure that the rule of law prevailed.

Olisa of Imushin Kingdom’s Daughter Becomes LASU Graduate

0
By News Barrel on August 18, 2026 News, Society

It was a moment of immense pride and celebration for the Olisa of Imushin Kingdom, Remo Land, Sir Soji Onafowokan, and his family as his daughter, Miss Emmanulla Onafowokan, joined other graduands at the 29th and 30th Convocation Ceremonies of Lagos State University (LASU).

Emmanulla, described by her proud parents as a jewel of inestimable value, distinguished herself among her peers after successfully completing her academic programme in International Studies.

The young graduate’s journey through the university was marked by dedication, perseverance and determination, culminating in the much-anticipated convocation ceremony where she proudly received recognition as one of the institution’s graduating students of the 2026 academic session.

Her graduation is not only a personal achievement but also a significant milestone for the Onafowokan family, as it represents the fulfilment of years of sacrifice, encouragement, prayers and investment in her education and future.

For the Olisa of Imushin Kingdom, the occasion provided another reason to celebrate the accomplishments of his daughter, whose academic feat has brought joy and honour to the family and the Imushin community.

With her degree in International Studies, Emmanulla is now equipped to explore new opportunities and contribute meaningfully to society, particularly in areas relating to international relations, diplomacy, global affairs and other fields connected to her academic training.

As she closes one chapter of her educational journey and opens another, expectations are high that the young graduate will continue to uphold the values of discipline, excellence and service instilled in her by her family.

The achievement also comes with the responsibility of translating her academic knowledge into practical contributions to national development, as she prepares to answer the clarion call to national service and take on new challenges beyond the university environment.

Family members, friends and well-wishers have continued to celebrate Emmanulla’s accomplishment, describing the graduation as the beginning of greater opportunities and possibilities ahead.

For the Onafowokan family, the convocation is therefore more than a ceremony; it is a celebration of perseverance, family support and the reward of hard work.

Congratulations to Miss Emmanulla Onafowokan on this remarkable achievement. As she steps confidently into the next chapter of her life, may her journey be filled with purpose, fulfilment and even greater accomplishments.

Congratulations, Emmanulla! Welcome to a new chapter of purpose, possibilities and greater achievements.
