Delta State Government has begin the demolition of Buildings erected by illegal Occupiers on government land beginning with the Musa Camp locate on lands belonging to the Dennis Osadebay University, Anwai-Asaba.

The Chairman State Taskforce on Recovery of Government Lands, Chief Frank Omare, stated this while speaking to journalists in Asaba, the Delta State Capital.

Omare, who was flanked by members of the committee at the site of the ongoing demolition of illegal structures at 'Musa Camp,' Asaba, lamented that land grabbers had, unfortunately, chased the school authority from their own land.

According to him, the land belongs to the university and it was one of the prerequisite for the accreditation of the Faculty of Agriculture of the University.

He emphasized that the government is not doing the demolition to hurt anybody because an approval to build does not confer ownership of land on anyone.

Omare said the demolition action was a state government directive and not meant to witch-hunt anybody.

The taskforce Chairman frowned at the activities of some government officials who allegedly encouraged the land grabbers, adding that the long arm of the law would soon catch up with them.
