Let it not be one of these guys who built on army land. But whatever let's hear from the other side. You didn't tell us the community
Poles are not laid on lands but road which is not enough for the destruction.

Unfortunately, I didn't watch up to the point where the guy mentioned what he did that attracted the military to demolish his house. That should've been the first place to start.
According to the story, the military personnel was angry at the guy for standing an electric pole on his land.

See the Nigerian Army, they will ignore fulani herdsmen but go after civilians.
This only happens with Southern Civilans

The reason why is because the Army is full of Fulanis.

Lets face it, its time we reconsider this union called Nigeria. angry
Sebi they said SEners are refusing to join.

what is the difference between you and a 3 years old kid? Someone posted a video without providing adequate background information as to why an act was carried out by alleged military personnel and you jump into conclusion without any thoughts processing. The difference between animal and man is critical thinking of the latter.

The Nigerian Army does not have an inherent, unqualified right to demolish houses.
till you build land on army land then.. Someone wanted to sell a 3bedroom flat is ilorin last year and the owner was in urgent need of money. The agent say he all sell at 4million. I went for check and the said house was just at the back of ilorin airport, I asked the agent if it wasn't on FAAN allocated land he say no. I get home and change my mind about the house cuz for sure there will be problem witb the land if not now or later.

leave them. Someone wanted to sell a 3bedroom flat to me last year, when I went for check, the building was just at the back of airport fance, which make me change my mind because it maybe on FAAN allocated land. Mind you a 3bedroom flat at 4million, it was cheap and the owner need money urgently.

and you believed that? He also stated that they came with some odionweres which are elders in Edo land. There is half truths to his story until we hear from the other side.

I understand the area very well. He unsuspectedly went and bought a lland inside a vary cast portion of land that belongs to the Nigerian Army. So many houses in that location suffered the same fate. Enogie should be held accountable because he knows fully well that the land is inside the Army barrack. I am saying this because I helped some people to escape similar fate that would have befallen them in that same location by simply doing a simple search before they were asked to pay. Just a paltry #30k would have saved him from this colossal loss!
where army dey wen he start foundation come build an reach lije this...

Doesn't make any sense to me

Incomplete story; WHAT DID THE MAN DO FIRST?
Okay... Let's assume he did something wrong, is demolishing people's homes now the job description or right of military men?!!

Will the military in America dare touch a brick in anyone's home abroad without lawful jurisdiction?!!


You Nigerians just permit and justify very abnormal and dumb things.

Such a lawless contraption!

don't mind them, Nigerians like emotional blackmailing, that is why they run to social media instead of the law courts.

They are like that. I saved a man from investing 180m in building an hotel in that vicinity! Someone directed him to me for similar job I did for him, so bad the land was inside the military portion! He lost the money he used in buying the land but he was saved from further damage by not going on with the hotel project.

I personally believe that individuals of means should not purchase land for personal or commercial use in this country, and should instead look abroad for peace of mind, be it in Ghana or the Ivory Coast. The sheer ineptitude of the individuals tasked with the responsibility to properly delineate land for government use, as they sit in their offices asking for bribes and skirting around the purpose for which they were employed, is startling. The consequences to them are seemingly none, as the weight of their actions is borne solely the people to whom they failed to give proper warning, at the time that they should have.
You don't know what you are saying. Go open ordinary provision store in Ghana as a foreigner first na den you know what to say.

Nigeria is one of the easiest places in the world to build properties both for locals and foreigners. In most states even in rural areas small boys and girls dey build houses anyhow.

People don't tell you what they do wrong when they are reporting others to you even if they are the culprit.
But why?
Re: Man Cries Out As Army Destroys His Multimillion Naira House In Edo by boxypane: 5:02pm On Jun 20, 2025
He should report to the police, get a lawyer and if possible petition the house of Assembly in Edo State. Use any connection you have. Even if there's a dispute, is this right?

Off cos not. Was only telling the guy wat the said victim claimed to have caused the partial demolition of his house and fence. There might be more to it. But, I don't trust Nigeria Military personnel, they are capable of carrying Odionweres along to help do their bidding. It is well sha.

The only time Nigeria army I'll demolish a building is only if the building is on their land . Apart from that the army won't go into town and start demolishing houses . The compliant should do due diligence and find ouf the land belongs to the army

I heard him mention one Enogie; then the elderly man by his side said "he go put electric pole for soldier man land".
The guy might have trespassed a soldier's personal property.
