Delta State Property Protection Bill has passed second reading on the floor of the state House of Assembly

    The second reading of the bill followed a motion by the member representing Ughelli South Constituency and lead sponsor, Hon. Rueben Izeze, seconded by Hon. Samuel Mariere and adopted.

   Izeze told the House that the bill, when passed, would criminalise forceful ejection from property, while the law would also mandate professional bodies such as estate valuers and agents who engage in illegal documentation and activities in a bid to sell land or property to discipline erring members.
   Other members who spoke in support of the bill included Honorables Samuel Mariere, Pat Ajudua, Okagbare Uviejitobor, Alphonsus Ojo and Oboro Preyor. The House will resume plenary on Tuesday July 4, 2017.
