He noted that in 2020 when a senior military officer claimed that the property belonged to the federal government, the matter was resolved amicably after interventions. Ugwoke stated that soldiers destroyed his properties and kept some at a roadside that is two kilometers from his house, adding that he was trying to reach out to the state government on the issue.

I wanted to benefit from it and the division said I should meet my state so that if they give me, that’s okay. “Nothing was heard again until November last year when GOC sent 20 soldiers to my house to come and remove my things but after some intervention from senior colleagues they left. On March 15, 2023, they wrote to me and asked me to park out within 2 weeks, despite my presentation of papers and approvals from the state.
