The Edo Geographic Information Systems (Edo GIS) has debunked reports circulating on social media alleging that a 17-year-old boy purchased 14 hectares of land in Edo State and was subsequently denied a Certificate of Occupancy (C of O) by Governor Monday Okpebholo.
The state governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo was quoted on some social media platforms to have said that a 17-year-old boy purchased 14,000 hectares of land, adding this informed his decision to stop signing Certificates of Occupancy.
But in a statement released by the Edo GIS Director of Press, Tunde Egbiremonlen on Monday clarified that no such transaction exists in its records.
