An Abuja-based poultry farmer, Henrich Bankole who hailed the Lagos State government for demolishing illegal structures blocking water channels, has cried out in pain after the Federal Capital Development Authority – Builders of Abuja (FCDA) demolished his poultry farm in Abuja.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports that Bankole via his X handle on Sunday cried out after some officials in Abuja stormed his farm and destroyed it ‘’without any prior notice”.
According to him, his farm worth N150 million was destroyed with 5000 birds killed and 50 persons rendered unemployed.
His tweet reads: “I am heartbroken and angry, yesterday, my N150 MILLION investmment in a poultry farm located in Lokogoma, Abuja was destroyed by the guys from the Federal Capital Davelopment Authority (FCDA) No warning , no prior notice, just pure destruction and over 5,000 birds are dead.”
While some Nigerians express their sympathy, A Kaduna activist, Ndi Kato ran a search and discovered that Bankole, in May had praised the Lagos state Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunboh Wahab, for demolishing properties blocking water channels and causing flooding in the state.
He wrote: “Tokunbo Wahab is doing a good job. If Lagos is flooded , we would blame him, if the demolition touches edgy spots. We would scream bllames, However, @followlasg has alot of work to do. Buildings should never be allowed to sprout on such channels before order is enforced.”
