Property owners in their numbers have stormed the Federal Ministry of Works, Mabushi, Abuja, to demand adequate compensation for their demolished properties along the Lagos-Calabar coastal highway.
Spokespersons for the protesters, under the aegis of Coalition of Civil Rights Against Impunity, said they would continue to protest for citizens’ rights until the government tackle the issue at hand.
While demanding justice and compensation commensurate with the value of the demolished properties without delay, the group expressed disappointment that the government’s action can scare citizens away from investing in their own country.
While urging the National Assembly to call the minister to order, they said the victims should be given the same treatment as the Super Falcons and D’Tigress, as they also laboured for their property.
