We’ll Seize Anambra Election Materials – Landowners by bcomputer101: 2:09am On Nov 16, 2013
Displaced landowners in Enugu State have threatened to
storm the Enugu International Airport and seize materials
meant for the conduct of the Anambra State
governorship election on Saturday (today).
They said they resolved to take the action because the
Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria failed to pay them
compensation for acquiring their land.
The landowners are operating on the platform of Airport
Hillview and Layout Landlords Association, Enugu State.
A statement by the publicity secretary of the group, Mr.
Emmanuel Ivuanyi, on Thursday, faulted FAAN for not
paying compensations to affected landowners.
Mostly indigenes of Anambra State, the landowners
made available a notice of the threats to our
correspondents in Enugu and Awka, on Thursday.
According to them, they were promised compensation
when the land was acquired in 2009 by the Federal
Government for the expansion and remodelling of the
airport to international status.
They, however, said that since then, they had yet to
receive any form of compensation from FAAN.
Saturday PUNCH learnt that 11 of the landowners who
started the fight for compensation had died.
One of the landowners, Mr. Emmanuel Chukwurah, said
they would, in their thousands, besiege the airport very
early today (Saturday) and ensure that sensitive
materials for the Anambra governorship election do not
leave the airport.
“We are prepared to die for this, so no amount of
security confrontation will hinder our action,” said
Chukwurah.”

These Landowners should know that 4 policemen were killed yesterday so NPF is baying for blood to avenge their colleague.
