Community Rallies Against Nigerian Navy Land ‘Seizure’ In Abuja

A Viral video showing members of Iddo community, Airport road, FCT ABUJA, on Wednesday morning, protesting against acquisition of their land by the Nigeria Military, has emerged on social media.

As seen in the video, the Iddo residents were seen wielding placards with  inscriptions such as: “Leave our land alone,” “FCT Minister come to our rescue,” “Save farmers, fight hunger,” “We love Nigeria but we need justice,” “We love defence but need justice,” asked the Nigerian Navy to vacate their land

GWG.ng reports that Iddo community is a residential area which houses hundreds of students of the University of Abuja.

According to reports, months ago, the Nigerian Navy allegedly put a signpost at the Iddo community of Federal Capital Territory, Abuja to claim the ownership of the landed property in the area.

“This Land Belongs To The Nigerian Navy. Pack And Leave. All Properties Here Will Be Demolished Soon. Notice Served On 12/02/2024,” the inscription on the signpost read.

A source who recently fled the community for fear of demolition, confirmed this to GWG.ng.

He added that some residents sold their properties for fear that the Navy had put everything in place to demolish houses and buildings in the community.

However, the residents and indigenes of the community took to the streets with placards calling on President Bola Tinubu and the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike for their intervention.
