Narrating their ordeal, one of the victims and a retired police inspector, John Idakwo, told SaharaReporters that they were never notified about the demolition nor was their place ever marked for demolition until last week when he suddenly saw a tractor that came for the demolition.

Residents of Ugboluma in Angwa Ayegba Community, Idah Local Government Area of Kogi State have condemned the Chairman of the council, Abu Odoma, and the Ata of Igala, Alhaji Opaluwa Oguche, for spearheading the demolition of their houses without prior notice.

Idakwo said they told him that his house is part of the place they want to make fence for the aerodrome “but I never knew about it.” Also speaking with SaharaReporters, one of the residents of the area whose house has also been mapped out for demolition narrated how they bought the land from the state government.

“I have not less than five plots of land there that I bought from the state and I have the papers. Somebody is living in my house. I do not live there because of my work but to my surprise, he called me that a bulldozer came and they were trying to demolish my neighbour’s house. The resident said he reached out to the local government chairman who said that the occupants of the land had encroached into the government land and the demolition order was from above.
