Secretary to the State Government and Coordinating Commissioner

" I have just set up a Special Task Force against land grabbing. It will be inaugurated on Monday. If you know your land has been grabbed, just report to them and they will move in to reclaim your land and give it back to you.

" It is unfortunate that in recent times, some politicians have taken pride in trying to incite the youths against the government by insinuating that the Governor does not care about the people or is allowing land belonging to Plateau indigenes to be grabbed by foreign herders.

" This is an apparent lie that has no basis in the face of facts. Contrary to this mischief, our government is the first in the history of Plateau state and one of the few, if not the only one in Nigeria to sign anti land grabbing law which we initiated as an executive bill...

If you know your land has been grabbed, report to the Special Task Force on Land grabbing and they will move in to reclaim your land and give it back to you."_ Governor Simon Bako Lalong of Plateau state.
