Edo State Investigating A 17-Year-old Boy Who Purchased 14,000 Hectares Of Land

Edo State Government is currently investigating a 17yr-old boy who purchased 14,000 hectares of land and paid full. Monday Okpebholo says he must explain his source of income.

Edo State Governor Monday Okpebholo launched an investigation into a 17-year-old’s full payment for 14,000 hectares of land—roughly 140 square kilometers—suspending all Certificates of Occupancy until the boy’s income source is verified, amid broader anti-land grabbing efforts.

The post’s image shows Okpebholo at a podium, emphasizing his public stance during a meeting with an NGO that flagged the issue, highlighting governance transparency in Nigeria’s land disputes.

X replies reveal widespread humor and doubt over the land’s scale, with users joking it covers entire districts and urging probes into youth poverty rather than sudden wealth.
