Protest in Ekiti over Fayose’s Airport project

Land owners and farmers displaced by the airport project in Ekiti State yesterday protested against what they called “illegal acquisition of their farmlands and unlawful destruction of economic trees and crops”.

They claimed that 10 farmers, including three women, have died of shock from what they called “huge economic loss”, resulting from the destruction of their farms.

The farmers, from Igbemo, Igbogun, Aso, Iwajo and Ijan spanning three local governments -Ado, Gbonyin and Irepodun/Ifelodun-,  urged Governor Ayo Fayose to stop work on the project because of the suit they had filed in court.

They described the acquisition of their land as “fraudulent, wicked, callous and illegal”, alleging that government surveyors and other officials visit their land occasionally to steal their produce, including cocoa, cocoyam, yam and banana.

The placard-carrying protesters claimed that they did not receive any valid notice before government bulldozers moved in to destroy their farms.
