A video of a man screaming in anguish after his structure was demolished by the Delta State government has gone viral online.
On Monday, May 13, the State Taskforce on Recovery of Government Lands began demolishing unlawful constructions built on Dennis Osadebay University’s site in Anwai-Asaba.
The properties were demolished after the notification to the illegal property owners to quit the land had expired.
In a video posted online, the man stated that he began the building construction in November 2023, and has spent more than N100 million.
He stated that the state government failed to speak with property owners prior to the demolition.
