The Ebonyi State Government has warned individuals encroaching on Development Centre lands and other government-owned properties in the state to desist or face legal action.
The State Commissioner for Lands and Survey, Dr. Matthew Nwobasi, gave the warning during a meeting with coordinators of the 64 Development Centres in the state at his office in Centenary City, Abakaliki.
Nwobasi disclosed that several Development Centre lands had been encroached upon and directed those involved to vacate the properties immediately.
He reminded the coordinators that Development Centres were established by the state government through legislation and were not under the control of local government authorities.
