By Ejike Abana

Lands situated behind Nwafor Orizu College of Education Nsugbe, belonging to Anambra state government which had been illegally acquired and occupied by various private developers have been reclaimed by the joint task force on government land recovery.

The government task force led the team to the area of land totalling 126,337.984 square meters where buildings and fences already erected in defiance to series of government warnings, were demolished.

Recall that ABS reported that most of the people erecting structures were served notices as far back as June, 2020 when the team officially commenced the process of recovery.

According to the Executive Chairman of Physical Planning Board, Barrister Chike Maduekwe who led the exercise, people make the mistake of going into lands not being used without asking questions, emphasizing that the exercise is in continuation of the process commenced by the task force last year year June on the directive of the state governor.

He pointed out that even after marking the place and sealed as government land given to the college, a few youths who have no right over the land, persistently sold the lands to unsuspecting members of the public.

While stating that even the villagers are not happy because people who are genuinely interested in purchasing community lands run away.

He warned that government is planning to do something with land, as such people should keep off.

Barrister Maduekwe concluded that the task force has collected names of those who are involved with the aim of charging them to Court soon.

Speaking to the ABS, an indigene of the community who introduced himself as the Vice Chairman, Land Committee, Ogwuari Village, Nsugbe, Pastor Achuwa Ifejika, emphasized that the place belongs to government but given to Nwafor Orizu College of Education, explaining that they are not happy about what is going on because it defaces the good name of the community, advising youths involved against selling lands indiscriminately, but engage themselves in other meaningful ventures.
