SOME Beninese farmers resident in Erinja, in Yewa South local government area of Ogun State, yesterday, decried the Federal Government’s plan to destroy their homes and farmlands to pave the way for the building of a Police Secondary School in the town.

The farmers, whose delegation spoke with journalists in Abeokuta, said the proposed secondary school projects would wipe out their means of livelihood.

According to them, the land was purchased from the family in 2012 and 2015, stating that the land which they bought for N300,000 then is now being sold for N3 million per plot.They said: “It is not ordinary land. This is where we are living with our family. We have boreholes and houses on the land, we are moulding blocks on the land and we also have cassava on the land running into acres.

“The amount that he wanted to offer us is grossly inadequate for the land alone not to mention the borehole, and other farm produce, such as cassava, plantain, palm tree, pineapple and other crops on the land.
