Hundreds of houses belonging to policemen to be demolished in Rivers
The demotion notice said: “Your attention is hereby drawn to IGP’s 2004 circular in respect of the illegal structure you built on government land without approval.
“However, the Commissioner Police in his final magnanimity has given you till 5th June 2020 to voluntarily remove the illegal structures. “Take note that the building will be forcefully demolished after this ultimatum whether you are present or not. You are advised in your own interest to remove it to avoid embarrassment.”
But the affected policemen said they had no other place to go and begged the police authority to either reconsider the demolition plan or provide accommodation for them.
