Two village chiefs and four other individuals have been remanded in the Ibara Custodial Center by an Ogun State Magistrate’s Court in Abeokuta for allegedly invading the Ogun State Broadcasting Corporation’s property.
The 24.253 hectares of land are located in the state capital of Abeokuta’s Olorunsogo town on Oba Road.

The defendants would be held for 30 days while waiting for the Directorate of Public Prosecutions to issue legal counsel, according to Magistrate Osibajo.
The police prosecutor, Inspector Adekanmi Adeusi, attached to the Task Force and Anti-Land Grabbing Unit, noted that the matter was reported through a petition by the management of the OGBC to the office of the Secretary to the State Government on June 19, 2023.
Adeusi stated the defendants entered the land and sold and developed some parts, thereby preventing the OGBC from using it.
The management of the broadcast station called for the retrieval of the land to prevent further loss to the illegal occupants.
Magistrate Osibajo, however, adjourned the case till August 15, 2023.
