ABUJA-BASED POULTRY OWNER RECOUNT LOSES AFTER N150M INVESTMENT WITH 5000 BIRDS WAS DEMOLISHED
Akomolafe Bankole, a poultry farmer who goes by the handle #henrich_banks on X.com, has expressed regret over the Federal Capital Development Authority officials demolishing his N150 million chicken farm in Lokogoma, Abuja.
Over 5,000 birds perished and 50 workers lost their jobs as a result of the demolition, which Bankole claimed was done without any prior notice or warning, according to a series of posts he made on his X account on Sunday.
Sharing videos, he wrote, “I am heartbroken and angry. Yesterday, my N150 million investment in a poultry farm located in Lokogoma, Abuja, was destroyed by the guys from the Federal Capital Development Authority.
“No warning, no prior notice, just pure destruction, and over 5,000 birds are dead.”
According to Bankole, all necessary papers, including the Certificate of Occupancy, were obtained before establishing the farm, making the demolition a shocking and unjust act.
He questioned the government’s actions, asking why he couldn’t farm on his private property.
He added, “How can this happen in a country where I followed every legal process? Let it be clear that all papers, including the (C of O), were obtained and yet, some individuals in this government felt it was okay to destroy what I’ve worked for—an investment of a lifetime.
