The Ondo State Government has declared zero tolerance for land grabbing in the state, urging residents to shun the practice.

The Anti-Land Grabbing Task Force set up by the government also warned that anyone caught engaging in land grabbing would face the full weight of the law.

The chairman of the task force and Attorney General of the state, Dr Kayode Ajulo, stated this after the maiden meeting of the group in Akure, the state capital.

Ajulo said there would be zero tolerance for land-grabbing activities across the 18 local government areas of the state in 2026.

He said the task force is determined to safeguard property owners across the state, noting that it has outlined strategies and strengthened enforcement to curb land grabbing and other land-related crimes.
