President, General of the Ibusa Community Youth Association
[dropcap]T[/dropcap]he President General of the Ibusa Community Youth Association, Comrade Ifeanyi Asiodu, has blamed the prevailing security challenge in the community on the activities of land grabbers parading themselves as donees of Power of Attorney.
The Youth Leader, who is also the Alum of Ibusa, noted with dismay the flagrant disrespect for Court Orders by the donees concerned and the unwarranted protection being given to them by the police.
Comrade Asiodu, who is also a community leader, wondered why the police should allow themselves to be used to oppress, intimidate and illegally acquire people’s lands, saying that the donee of the Umuisaba Power of Attorney had always boasted that no one had the power to stop him.
He said he had chosen to pursue his case in Court, believing that some day he would get justice, even as he revealed that over 200 plots of land he genuinely acquired had been illegally sold and property worth millions of naira destroyed.
The Ibusa Youth PG commended the efforts of the Oshimili North local government at checking land grabbing, especially in Ibusa and Okpanam, but called for strict enforcement of the by-law prohibiting illegal land sales and grabbing.
Comrade Asiodu also appealed to the State Governor, Hon Sheriff Oborevwori and the relevant authorities to intervene in the matter, insisting that no individual should be seen to be above the law.
