  • 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.

Yewa South PDP State Assembly Candidate Ogundele Appreciates Party Leaders, Supporters As He Secured Ticket

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate for Yewa South State Constituency in the 2027 Ogun State House of Assembly election, Hon. Rotimi Ogundele, has expressed profound gratitude to party leaders, stakeholders, supporters and well-wishers for their roles in his emergence as the party’s flagbearer.

In a statement issued by the Irorunde ’27 Strategic Media Team, Ogundele described his victory at the PDP primary election as a collective achievement made possible through the unwavering support, prayers and commitment of party faithful and supporters across Yewa South and beyond.

The PDP candidate particularly commended the Ogun State leader of the party, Oladipupo Adebutu, for his leadership and commitment to the democratic process. He also appreciated the State Chairman, Hon. (Dr.) Abayomi Tella, the Senatorial Chairman, Elder Sunday Olusola Soledolu, the Yewa South Local Government Chairman, Hon. Lateef Onifade, and the Yewa South Collegiate Chairman, Alhaji (Chief) Aliu Faghohun, for their guidance and support throughout the primary election process.

Ogundele further extended his appreciation to traditional rulers in the constituency for their royal blessings and fatherly counsel, as well as supporters in the diaspora whose encouragement, he said, contributed significantly to the success of his aspiration.

He also acknowledged the prayers and solidarity of the Muslim, Christian and traditional religious communities, describing them as a source of strength during the campaign period.

The PDP standard-bearer equally lauded card-carrying members of the party across Yewa South for their dedication and loyalty, noting that their commitment remains the foundation of the party’s strength in the constituency.

Special recognition was also given to the Irorude Support Group for what he described as its tireless efforts and steadfast commitment to the realization of the project.
Describing his emergence as a victory for unity and hope, Ogundele said the mandate belongs to the people of Yewa South and reflects their collective aspiration for better representation and development.

He called on party members and supporters to sustain their support, cooperation and prayers as preparations begin for the 2027 general election.
“This victory is not for one person alone; it is a victory for unity, hope and the shared aspiration for a better Yewa South and Ogun State. Together, we will work towards delivering purposeful representation and sustainable progress for our people,” he stated.
Ogundele assured constituents of his commitment to providing effective representation and pursuing policies that would promote development and improve the welfare of residents if elected into office.
