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.

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 ... Good day boss. You seems to know Idah very well. I'm Jibrin by name from ojaina Idah local government area

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.

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.

This country is a jungle. Lawlessness thrives here and the funniest part is you can hardly do anything about it.

Same thing happened to me late last year. A land I had been developing, a place I had spent a lot of money was demolished too. That the government wanted to build a nurse's quarters there. But the same government, through her agency, was issuing C of O's when people were buying lands there.

Although I heard it was earmarked for a nurse's station in the 70's. But the government knew people were building there for long, no one said anything. No one was warned. All of us didn't even know anything like that.

We've sued. The matter is in court but the truth is my mind is no longer there. I have forgotten about it and moved on. I am not optimistic that we will win a case against the government or even get them to pay.

I am still single and a young. The people I pitied the most were those who had families and complete houses.

shedgoz:
Exactly my point. Why Issue C of O for a land and later come back to demolish the building on It.

To build house for Nigeria no be small matter ooo, come still furnish the house.

This is just our exact story. The painful part is there was no prior notification.

This country is truly a lawless country.

he must get it oh, did your father buy the land.... if possible locate the seller..... without those documents make una go back to village

MrMcJay:


People without C of Os win cases against the government.

Johntitus:



That was the first thing we thought. They only came on Friday to inform us, today there's no house again. Thanks alot boss. We'll surely do that.
