He said the palace was inundated with reports of land grabbers upon his ascendance to the throne and that a special committee was set up by the last Olubadan of Ibadan, Oba Soliu Akanmu Adetunji, had been deployed to look into the matter.
The Olubadan used the occasion to challenge NIS to send representatives to partake in the activities of the committee, which he said would put to rest crimes and crises that arose from the activities of land speculators and grabbers.
