According to him, the communities won a court judgement against some set of people who sold their community lands illegally to different individuals in Asaba.

They had hoped that, based on the judgment, the individuals would approach them for a resolution, but till date, there was no response from the people that encroached the lands.

He said consequently, the court gave them an execution order which gave rise to the communities to mobilize and demolish some of the properties on the lands that has been encroached.

He said, “the land encroached is against the lawful masterplan of the capital territory, Asaba so it is our land by right.

According to him, the court judgement was given in 2009 but till date, people are still encroaching the lands.

He added that the state government is fully in support of the execution order and if the present occupants refuse to identify themselves with the communities, there will be more demolition of buildings.

He said “There is need for the public to know that large lands like Amilomocha, Onaododo, Aniulo and it’s tributaries along the bank of the River Niger stretching from the back of Asaba township Stadium down to the bank of the River Niger, up to the boundary of Illah town belongs to Agunaugboma Ezeumunne family in Asaba.”

He commended his people for coming out en masse in support of the court officials who carried out the execution order. He further commended the court for the issuance of the execution order, else, it would have been been that the court sat in vain.
