Done some reading...

1.Seems the case has been on for over ten years. (Here is a report from 2017)

2.The basis of the case was that it was a dispute between the landowners and the college of aviation in Zaria. (Snapshot of google map area...showing how close the area is to NCAT)

3.At the end of the day, the area in question was too close to and may have been encroaching on NCAT land. Hence the demolition

4.My opinion...and I am ready to be told and accept that I am wrong. ....the land was government land. Someone came and started selling plots there, and people built on the property and got government documents. NCAT went to the courts to stop them...case dragged out. there may have been a ruling in NCAT's favour...land got demolished.

If there is anyone to blame really...it is the government officials who allowed development to take place on government land. But corruption and doing things wrongly in Nigeria is a way of life.

5/ And for those who are shouting religion...El Rufal has been on this matter for years. When it comes to demolishing things...El Rufai does not care about your religion or faith (As seen in Abuja...to the point that he was called Satan by some muslims even). As seen in the demolition of this other area in Zaria

6.All in all, I don't like the idea of demolition. Some form of amnesty has to be given...plus there has to be some accountability. People should stop selling land that isn';t theirs to sell , buying such land., and issuing documents for said land. I ultimately blame the LGA and the state., especially whoever was in charge when the development started.

Someone is selling government land, and people go and buy?

Modiifed

Land in question belongs to a private individiual, not NCAT. However, the case is prolly still in court...plus there is the issue of alleged encroachment.

Anyway, land issues in Nigeria aren't as straightforward as one wants.

Modified

Someone upthread says NCAT finally won the case. If so, the points I have put up are still factual. NCAT is taking over its land again.

Where you see Northern people house in the east to demolish?


Do northern people believe in One Nigeria?
They are not like your eastern people who worship one Nigeria, as easterners build houses all over Nigeria.

The El-Rufis of the far north had since drawn the boundary of their Islamic Sharia Republic when they set aside the constitution of Nigeria, and adopted unconstitutional Islamic Sharia criminal justice system in the 12 far north states. They still clutch tight to one Nigeria because of economic considerations.

Eleven years ago I took someone their to buy land , after negotiation I decided to discuss with my dad and he advise we shouldn't buy the land because that part of Grace land belong to aviation that the case is already in court that some day they will claim that aviation look likely to win the case .


Rumor has it that a fulani man who settled their sold that land to individual claiming that the land is his own , when aviation took the issue to court , the Fulani man was no where to be found.

The land in question doesn't even belong to the Kaduna state government it belongs to the Nigerian college of aviation technology. Some unscrupulous land agents took advantage of the system and fraudulently sold them FG land wile some ignorant nairaland folks will be blaming Elrufai who has nothing to do with the matter. This case has been going on for the past 10 years.

Has El-Rufai compensated them? Is there a provision for where they will reside with their family members? We are talking about acting like humans, not like monsters and demons.

That's from 2013.

And it is possible that , as the report i posted upthread says

Shading more light on the issue, Counsel to the community, Dr Abdulkareem Adedokun said: “Truly, we instituted about four cases not just one case against NCAT as far back as 2007.

“The cases were in form of representative action of a sort, one was instituted in the name of Prof. Onwolakoje Onwolakpo and Bethel Ministry against college of aviation, , Eng. P. J. I. Azagba against college of aviation, Mrs Confort Olukosi against college of aviation and Prof. Kola Orofe against college of aviation.

Adedokun added that the case of Prof. Onwolakoje Onwolakpo was decided in 2014 where Justice Binta Zubair of High Court No 1 in Zaria gave judgment in favour of Prof. Onwolakpo .

So, that's from 2014...but then the matter was said by a Daily trust report to still be in court....

All in all, looks like the land does not belong to NCAT...so I stand corrected on that.

Still, some of the new developments were encroaching on NCAT land , according to the state...plus

When contacted, the General Manager, KASUPDA, Mrs Fausat Idikunle confirmed the receipt of the application filed by the community.She said the matter had been on in court for sometimes adding that the essence of marking the houses was to update their records, because people were busy erecting houses in the area.The matter is still in Court, yet people go ahead to erect structures, we have to update our record. The fact that the matter is in court does not give the people power to erect new building, she said.

That implies that the State appealed, and prolly got a judgement asking the parties to maintain status quo ante. New buildings would go against the spirit of statu quo ante.

Thanks for the proof.

For no reason El-Rufai decided to bring down people's houses...

So 10-15 trucks of fully armed soldiers where gathered in a small area of Graceland Zaria Kaduna state to supervise the bringing down of homes that is largely full of retired FG staffs who have laboured for 30-35 years in sweat and many have not even been given up to 4% of their retirement benefits since they left service…

Yet, 2 trucks of same armed uniform men can NEVER be sent to the southern part of the State to protect lives!!!

Graceland is a place made up of 80% Christians of which most of them are retired civil servants.

Elrufai decided to bring down those houses with a very short notice period.

Point of correction, elrufai did not order the demolition of those building . The land belong to aviation , the case have been in court even before elrufai came into power . They finally won the case .

I see...

Do you have any proof that they won the case...because if they did, it changes the matter.

Hell Rufai is a fanatical religious fundamentalist. It will never be well with that midget. May his life, family and generation never know peace.
May the blood of all the innocent souls massacred in Kaduna haunt him to eternity. He would never do that against moslems it's clear he has an anti-christians agenda.

He had no reason to demolish it? Why are you not stating the grounds for which he stated he demolished it but need to tell us that "Graceland is a place made up of 80% Christians of which most of them are retired civil servants", fooool?

Na you eyes dey pain. I commented in respect to the post and it was said that Kaduna state government supervised the demolition. Your story can't be verified here. But let's accept your story as someone who resides in Kaduna and knows what is happening. Is it proper for the federal government to demolish their houses?

Federal govt. can only be justified if they have compensated them reasonably and well.

Got some questions

1.When was the case decided? Haven't been able to find anything on the web

2.There are rulings saying the land does not belong to NCAT. So, if the land does not belong to NCAT, why the demolition?

If El-Rufai demolish a place check very well, there is a cogent reason or the case has been in court for years.

Leave Nigerians and notice... everyone will be claiming that they were not given notice but they are the same people going to court for years or only the community heads have been actively involved in going to court. Every other person in the community just dey go on with their lives until demolition time.

Sometimes, I wonder why matters like this are reported by the press from religious angle when they occur in some other parts of Nigeria but when it happens in Lagos the same press reports them like normal news. No cares the religion of the governor or the victims whose houses are demolished.

Can you back this up with proof? When did El Ruffai became the governor that the case has been in court for years?

It has been in court for years...as this report from 2017 says

NAN recalls that there had been a lingering problem between Anguwan Yusi community and Nigerian College of Aviation Technology (NCAT), Zaria bordering on alleged encroachment of land.

Shading more light on the issue, Counsel to the community, Dr Abdulkareem Adedokun said: “Truly, we instituted about four cases not just one case against NCAT as far back as 2007.

“The cases were in form of representative action of a sort, one was instituted in the name of Prof. Onwolakoje Onwolakpo and Bethel Ministry against college of aviation, , Eng. P. J. I.

.

However, it seems the court case continued till this year. Some nairalanders upthread are saying that the case was finally decided recently in favour of NCAT , hence the demolition, but nothing on the web (there is nothing on the case post 2017 online)
