‘They Have Turned Themselves Into Landowners’: Tungamaje Residents Accuse Nigerian Army Personnel Of Forcible Evictions

Residents of the community who spoke to SaharaReporters alleged that some Army personnel have now turned the area into their personal property.

Residents of Tungamaje in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, have raised an alarm over what they described as the forceful eviction of people from their ancestral lands by personnel of the Nigerian Army.

Residents of the community who spoke to SaharaReporters alleged that some Army personnel have now turned the area into their personal property.

“This time, it’s not just the Army authorities alone, but personnel who have turned themselves into landowners,” an angry resident told SaharaReporters.

“They come independently, drive people away from their land and thereafter take possession of them.”
