  • 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.

A major player in the nation’s real estate business, Ambassador (Dr) Babatunde Adeyemo, has congratulated former governor of Ogun State, Aremo Olusegun Osoba, on being recognized and honoured today, January 29, 2026 with the award of a Doctor of Science (D.Sc. Ed.) degree honoris causa in Political Science.

The award given by the Nigeria’s premier education university – Tai Solarin University of Education (TASFUED), will be presented to Aremo Osoba at the institution’s 17th convocation ceremony today at its Ijagun campus, off Ijebu – Ode.

Two other exceptional Nigerians – First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu and Governor Dapo Abiodun – will also be awarded Doctor of Science (D.Sc. Ed.) degrees, honoris causas in Childhood Education and Education Management respectively.

Congratulating Osoba on the honour, Adeyemo who is the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Pelican Valley Nigeria Limited, said the award was well – deserved, describing the recipient elder statesman as one of the nation’s most respected voices in political, civic, journalism, governance and leadership sphere.

The real estate entrepreneur commended the TASFUED for its keen eyes for identifying only worthy individuals such as Aremo Osoba for the prestigious honour, recalling that the octogenarian politician who served twice as Executive Governor of Ogun State, first in the Third Republic and again in the Fourth Republic had his tenure marked by purposeful governance, massive rural and urban development, infrastructural renewal, community empowerment, and policies rooted in compassion and accountability.

According to Adeyemo, despite leaving office about 23 years ago, Osoba’s legacies in Ogun State still remained visible to all, meaningful and celebrated.
