• Land-grabbed property under construction, Lagos State
Lawyers for Reform Group and Centre for Human and Socio-economic Rights have called for the establishment of a Special Anti-Land Grabbing and Fraud Task Force Unit in the Nigeria Police Force.
The Punch reports that special operatives must undergo forensic investigation training to detect fake title documents, the group said.
The Project Director of the group, Oladotun Hassan, made the call while speaking with journalists in Lagos, recently.
He said, “It is expedient for the Inspector-General of Police to also look into land-related offences as the same as terrorism because land grabbers harass and place their victims under intense fear as well as destroy ruthlessly. In addition, the need for the establishment of a Special Anti-Land Grabbing and Fraud Task Force Unit in the Nigeria Police Force, whose operatives must undergo forensic investigation training to detect fake title documents is essential.
