Nigerian Army General And PIC In Land Grabbing Scandal At Banana Island

Under the orders of an Army General and the Presidential Implementation Committee (PIC) Some men of the Nigerian Navy and the Nigerian Army Illegally and in contravention of a court injunction stormed a massive expanse of land around Onikoyi area of Banana Island in Ikoyi, owned by the Onikoyi and other private citizens and forcefully ejected workers and the owners of the land.

They later moved on to expand their land grabbing operation using violence and weapons assigned them to serve and protect citizens. A senior officer among the soldiers said they were acting on the orders of the Presidency/Federal Govt. This operation which was instigated by a Nigerian Army General who is also known to be a key financier of the seating Presidents election campaign has seen the alleged Land Grabbers forcefully take control of prime water front properties spanning acres and worth 400Million Naira per plot. The land grabbing exercise by these individual wreaks of gross abuse of power. This is not the change we votes for. As at the time of this post men of the Nigerian Army were seen on the premises guarding the land. There are also reports that these land now siezed by the Presidential Implementation Committee would be used in the settlement of key past and present political figures. More evidence on their activities will be postedon this thread shortly.

Perhaps it is true that Power corrupts absolutely.After the abuse the GEJ Government meted on Nigerians, which led to their ousting, President Mohammadu Buhari and his handlers are forgetting what bad governance is with this abuse of power. We shall get to the bottom of this.
