The Delta State State Taskforce on Recovery of Government Lands, Monday, commenced demolition of illegal structures built on lands belonging to Dennis Osadebay University, Anwai-Asaba.

The demolition of the properties was sequel to the expiration of notice issued to the illegal property owners to vacate the land.

The The task force led by its Chairman, Chief Frank Omare, demolished properties built around Musa Camp area.

Speaking with during the demolition exercise, Chief Omare said they were mandated by the State Government to recover all government lands illegally occupied by individuals or corporate bodies across the state.

He said: “Clearly where we are now is the university land and it is meant for the Faculty of Agriculture of the Dennis Osadebay University, more than 1000 persons have encroached the land and built illegal structures amidst all manner of illegal approvals.

“We gave them notice to vacate the land since five months ago. We were patient enough to go round informing them so that tomorrow they will not say they were not given enough notice.

“So whatever you are seeing here is a determination of government of Delta State to bring about rule of law and to respect the laws of the land because we cannot allow land grabbers to begin to sell all kind of lands.

“This is just a starting point because ‘the falling away of the yellow leaves is a warning to the green ones’. At Federal College of Education Technical Asaba, those who have built there illegally, we are coming for them.

“At opposite Ughelli Township Stadium we are also coming for them, Warri, Sapele, Agbor and Patani are also involved so if you know you have built on government land please begin to pack out."

Asaba is becoming a slum with unplanned estates everywhere. The state government should go ahead and sanitize the town just as Sanwo-Olu is sanitizing Lagos. Though the usual suspects will not wail because Delta is PDP state.

You open mouth waa!! Read, you no go read.

The demolition is for structures illegally built on lands owned by Delta state government.

What's difference between those illegally built on drainage and its set backs? Are road and drainage setbacks not public land in the care of the government?

There are demolitions for unapproved developments, recovery of private/govt land and to pave way for public infrastructure like roads, bridges, airports, railways, etc for the greater benefit of the public.

I've not seen that major infrastructural development of govt that does not involve takeover and compensation of people's properties. Even the FCT itself was done on people's ancestral land.

People should dig the history of big roads and some airports we are enjoying today and will discover someone or a family suffered some form of loss for it in the past.

Compulsory acquisition of land by the government for public use or for overriding public interest is well covered by the Land Use Act.

It is well oooo😭

Nwokem please focus on Abia state & Governor Otti, no put your mouth in what you know nothing about, it isn’t a typo, Asaba is not Aba.

Yesterday, musa camp was demolished. Today would be the turn of 74 junction. People were packing properties overnight. I felt pity for them. The worse of all would be happening to a man call Baba Niel. He built his house years ago,and last month he completed his hotel. All would be demolished, His wife has been crying. Everyone in 74 junction has been moody as if someone died. Hausa boys have been lurking around to scavenge irons. May God give them all the fortitude to bear their loss.

Some people will love this story but condemned the one from other states

Why do people engage in such behaviour? Do it right or don’t do it at all.

Sanwo-Olu visited the place last week
All against the Jews

Structures built on government land.
How can an estate be unplanned? And how can estate make a slum.
An Ibadan native calling Asaba a slum. Wonders never end.

Too many lands belongs to government in asaba before you purchase any land in asaba go to ministry of lands and surveys for clarifications so as to avoids stories that touch

It's irkful anytime the govt decides to start demolishing properties, as if they were not aware when such places were been developed.

Hope some people from a particular tribe will not cry victim here

Delta State Governor hates we Igbos. This is not fair after all the development we Igbos brought to Delta.
Igbos own 99% of the developed areas of the entire Delta state.
