Land grabbing: Delta resumes demolition of illegal structures

The Delta State government has resumed the demolition of illegal structures built on Dennis Osadebay University at Anwai-Asaba. 

Taskforce chairman on recovery of government lands, Chief Frank Omare, Friday, said the government was after land grabbers who misled innocent citizens in buying government lands. 

Chief Omare, who was flanked by members of the taskforce, said the property owners had enough notice since the last demolition at Musa Camp Asaba.

He warned that all illegal occupants in government lands across the state would soon have their day and urged them to as a matter of urgency begin to evacuate their valuables as the government was out to recover all lands belonging to it across the state.

He ruled out compensations for the property owners, saying they ought to pay the government for the cost of demolition.
