Our House Was Demolished In Kogi And There Will Be No Compensation by Johntitus: 6:57pm On Jun 19, 2022 |
Good day guys. My Baba's house (4 bedroom apartment wey dey completely furnished and finished) was destroyed today on grounds that the government wants to build an airport there. The funny thing be say there'll be no compensation whatsoever from the government (nah wentin dem talk). It's really painful cause almost all of us follow mix cement in order to build that house and now nothing dey to show for it. My mama don cry tire. The house was located in Idah, Kogi state. It wasn't only his house that was destroyed though. I just dey seek una advice on wentin man go do. Is there any way or place we could table the matter to at least get compensation? The labour of our heroes past shall not be in vain. PS: the destroyers didn't tell us if they were from FG or State government; they only said they came from Abuja. 12 Likes 2 Shares |

Airport in Idah I'm not aware of such. Are you sure you've not fallen victim to land grabbers because the land use act recommends compensation for what is on the land when government wants to take it over unless it was acquired illegally. I would advise you visit the federal ministry of aviation to make enquiries. You could also visit state and federal ministry of works and housing. 82 Likes 1 Share |

I remember a case in Asia where the government had to build a highway around a house just because the owner of the land didn't totally agree with the compensation the government was offering then. His house was the only house in the middle of a high-way. He only moved after he was properly compensated by the government. That is how things are done in saner climes. But unfortunately here in Nigeria even our justice system is so corrupt that pursuing a case like this against the federal government is almost futile. Unless you have money to hire human rights lawyers like Falana, then i don't think there's really hope for you. Even here in the south i can't count the number of houses forcefully taken over & demolished by the likes of Wike & Rochas, yet nothing has been done about them till date.

Johntitus: Is it located in Akpatega? If so, I had some time on my hands and carried out 5 minutes of internet search, reavling the following: 1. There was an airstrip in Akpatega. It became disused and it seems people encroached on the land ... https://www.facebook.com/186649875250364/posts/this-is-idah-igala-land-aerodromeaerodrome-is-a-small-airport-the-one-in-igala-l/416516058930410/ But behold, the aerodrome became a farmland, area for quarrying, people's plots of land, mining and parking of sand/stones by tipper operators after his transition. Yes, a stone thrown into the market does not select the enemies from the friends, and so we are all affected. These illegal works continued there until the coming of Attah Idakwo Ameh Oboni. He asked them to stop immediately the day he visited the aerodrome in 2013. He made the whole areas to be cleared and leveled. Today, the situation of it is as in the picture above but do you know what, the Attah Igala and the federal govt have made a plan to revive it, and to have it upgraded to a standard airport very soon, a reliable source informed me. 2. The 2020 Budget approved by the National assembly contained approval for a project submitted by the Federal Ministry of Aviation to maintain the Idah Airstrip, to cost 150 million Naira. https://yourbudgit.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/MINISTRY-OF-AVIATION.pdf See Page 5, Item: ERGP31144151 MAINTENANCE OF IDAH AIRSTRIP Putting (1) and (2) above together, you may not have a case. The airstrip has been encroached upon and the Federal Government is about to resuscitate it. Apologies if your property is not in Akpatega. Good luck. 27 Likes 3 Shares |

Johntitus: 1. What title does your father have over the property? 2. Is that land under Government acquisition, particularly Committed acquisition? A Surveyor will tell you this. 3. Was a Notice of Revocation issued and was it published in an official Government Gazette? A lawyer can help you find out. It is not possible for the Govt to serve you eviction notices on a Friday and it will be demolished by this week. I suspect mischief somewhere. 2 Likes |

Nigerians are generally deaf and stubborn to warnings.. I believe the government didn't just feel like to destroy your family's house.. In Benin city then, you would see some houses built under power-lines, on roads(especially when the community is not yet developed), land issues, etc, houses like that are automatically marked for demolition without compensation... 3 Likes |

Johntitus: They are definitely not FG. FG pay all compensation before demolition of any property I was a direct beneficiary in Kaduna State. My House was demolished along kaduna-Abuja express way. To give way for the expansion and reconstruction of the Road. All compensations were paid before the Structures were demolished. |
