Olubadan Asks EFCC To Fight Land, Property Fraud

The Olubadan of Ibadanland, Oba Lekan Balogun, has solicited for collaboration between the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the committee put in place on land disputes which meets regularly at the ancient Mapo Hall in the hinterland of the metropolis.

 Apparently reacting to the presentation made by the Ibadan zonal commander of the agency, Halimat Mustafa Rufa’u, during the visit made to the Olubadan in his Alarere residence, Oba Balogun, said that the Land and Property Fraud Section of the EFCC would have a lot to gain from the said committee headed by the President of the Ibadan Mogajis, Mogaji Asimiyu Adepoju Ariori.

 The monarch who eulogized the committee for the achievements recorded so far, noted with satisfaction that the purpose of raising the committee when he ascended the throne of Olubadan last year continued to be justified on a daily basis.

 He said the creation of the Land and Property Fraud Section by the EFCC was thoughtful which earned his applause.

 According to him, “I commend your agency for your various efforts at riding our country of corruption and the division of your task into various sections as just rolled out by the Zonal Commander is an induction of your commitment to the mandate given you by the government.
