A rights group, Civil Rights Realisation and Advancement Network has asked the Minister of Defence to intervene in the alleged threat by the Nigerian Army to forcefully dispossess Enugu lawyer, Nana Ogbodo, of his property, R/350, situated at old Abakaliki road.
Recall that Ogbodo, after receiving approval and Certificate of Occupancy from the Enugu State government, had erected and fenced a bungalow on the property, which he allocated to tenants. The GOC’s letter read: “Despite your failure to honour the gentleman agreement reached, with regard to vacating the property, Headquarters 82 Division Nigerian Army has magnanimously granted you additional seven days to vacate the property or face ejection.”
“The only way the military can claim ownership of the property is to show documentary evidence and not rely on the ridiculous claim that the property was among those captured by the Army during the civil war, which took place over 50 years ago.” “The senior officer who was allocated the quarter during his service was removed therefrom by the Nigerian Army in April 2023, when he tried to convert the quarter to his private property after his retirement.
“Consequently, the Nigerian Army calls for a thorough investigation and due process to resolve the matter, and it stands ready to present its evidence of ownership to competent authorities. The Federal Government, yesterday, confirmed that more of the fleeing inmates of the Suleja Medium Security custodial centre have been recaptured.
