The Ogun State Police Command has launched a full-scale investigation into the escalating land dispute in Ajogbo Akia community, following reports of farmland destruction, criminal intimidation, and alleged activities of land grabbers. The Commissioner of Police, CP Bode Ojajuni, has ordered an immediate, comprehensive probe to ascertain the true facts, identify perpetrators, and ensure that anyone found culpable is brought to justice.
The Command, however, clarified that disputes over land title, boundary adjustments, and ownership claims are strictly civil matters that should be resolved through competent courts. But where a party with legitimate title suffers criminal acts such as malicious damage to crops, destruction of property, criminal trespass, or threats to life, the law empowers such individuals to report these acts to the police for thorough investigation and possible prosecution.
To maintain public order and ensure immediate safety, the Command has directed Area Commanders and Divisional Police Officers to deploy high-visibility operational patrols and intelligence assets to Ajogbo Akia and surrounding agricultural corridors. These patrol teams have been mandated to dominate the area day and night, ensuring that farmers and residents can safely access their farmlands and conduct their lawful business without fear of violence, harassment, or unlawful interference.
The Ogun State Police Command reiterated its zero-tolerance stance against illegal land grabbing, self-help, and threats to life. It commended the traditional ruler, Baale Dr. Oluwasegun Adebiyi, and community leaders for seeking law enforcement intervention rather than resorting to violence.
Members of the public are urged to remain calm, stay law-abiding, and cooperate fully with police investigators by providing actionable intelligence to ensure lasting peace across the state.
