The lands boss has asked the Directorate of Criminal Investigations(DCI) to investigate the claims.

“There are people who move to court for orders to defeat justice. There are many fake court orders,” Swazuri said.

Swazuri said the police should stop effecting such orders and instead protect the residents from professional land grabbers. Land grabbers forge court rulings and judgments.

“There are many professional land grabbers who can make fake court orders look professional and genuine,” he said.

“People write fake rulings and judgments themselves. If you call the magistrates whose names appear on the documents, they disown the documents," he added.
