Receive a one year jail term if false information is provided- Lagos state attorney



Lagos State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Ade Ipaye recently disclosed that anyone caught giving false information to obtain the Governor’s Consent would be jailed for one year when convicted.
Ipaye said this at a stakeholders’ meeting on Land Use Act (Title Documentation) 2012, held at the
Government Secretariat, Alausa, Ikeja, Lagos.
The Attorney General lamented on the high rate of documents falsification to obtain land titles and others, saying that such cases occurred on daily basis at the state’s land registry.
He said, “The offence is punishable under section 96 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State and the offender is liable on conviction to one year imprisonment. Forgery is also another offence if it is established that documents have been falsified.
Hmmmm be careful people!!!
