THE Federal Government has slammed a N50 billion suit against the Anambra State government over the latter’s alleged revocation of the 148.337 hectares of land acquired for Federal Government site and service scheme at Amansea in Awka North local government of the state.

In the suit, which has the Attorney-General of the Federation as plaintiff and the Attorney-General of Anambra State as defendant, the Federal Government is claiming the amount as exemplary and aggravated damages it suffered due to what it described as unconscionable actions of the defendant.

In the writ of summons signed by the Registrar of the Supreme Court, the Attorney General of the Federation is seeking for:

1. “declaration that the 148.337 hectares of land at Amansea, Awka North local government area, Anambra state, comprising Federal Government Site and Service Scheme, Amansea/Awka, was lawfully acquired by the Federal Government of Nigeria through the Anambra state government in 1992, under the Land Use Act of 1978 (as amended);
.
.
.

8. “Fifty billion naira only being exemplary and aggravated damages suffered by the Federal Government of Nigeria by the unconscionable actions of the defendant resulting in disruptions of the lawful activities of the Federal Government of Nigeria and her allottees and development partners over the said Federal Government Site and Service Scheme, at Amansea/Awka, Anambra state.”

Justice Ibrahim Tanko Muhammed who presided over the panel of Judges handling the matter adjourned the case to February 13, 2017, for hearing of the motion on notice for interlocutory injunction filed by the counsel to the Federal Government, Chief Mike Ozekhome (SAN) for interim order of injunction.

Didn't get the message. What is the offense of Anambra here? Pls smbd break it down. How can state control the land? If Oil was found in it would the state still have control?

[size=14pt]They want to arm twist Anambra to give up its land as "grazing reserve" for Fulani men.

Truth is that those Fualni men will not even dare enter that land even if the Governor had donated it to Fulani people, talkmore of this Buhari approach to intimidate and annex by force.

I'm watching Fualni people in 3D how they hope to pull this stunt in Igboland.[/size]

This contrapted nation is getting worse by the day. Same FG who is currently owing Anambra State close to N50bn.
