August 11, 2015 – Lagos State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to disband the Presidential Taskforce Implementation Committee on the alienation of Federal Government Landed Properties.

In a statement in Lagos, the governor said that members of the task force are carrying out duties inimical to the interest of government at the state and federal level.

The governor made the call  following petitions,  lamenting the nefarious and reprehensible activities of the task force.

 According to him, the task force, whose existence and legality was still in doubt have unlawfully embarked on a brazen seizure, take over and appropriation of state and federal government properties.

He said the activities of the task force has left in its wake a near total destruction, displacement, stoppage including unprovoked mass harassment, intimidation, molestation and denial of the original owners of the land and properties.

 Ambode expressed concern that the activities of the task force is coming despite their knowledge of an existence of a consent judgment duly entered into by the same committee and some of the petitioners on one hand and an order of Interlocutory Injunction granted by the High Court of Lagos State, with the restraining orders widely published in newspapers.

He called on President Buhari to immediately disband the task force, so as to forestall  breakdown of law and order, stressing that their activities presently constitutes a security risk in the state.

It would be recalled that the committee began its operations during the era of the Jonathan administration.
