KOGI State House of Assembly has been directed to investigate the fraudulent land dealing and encroachment by one Godwin Isah at Apamisede in Adavi Local Government Area of the state.
This was after one Mrs Sefi Okpekete Bajeh addressed a petition to the Rt Hon Speaker of the House and same was read by Hon Cosmas Atabor on the floor of the House.
According to the petition, Sefi Bajeh on the 14th day ofJuly, 2016 purchased a land measuring 100f x100f6 situated at Apamisede village behind LGEA Primary School in Adavi LGA of Kogi State from Godwin Isah and a Deed of Assignment was executed between the duo after the payment of the sum of#900,000 ( nine hundred thousand naira).
Bajeh disclosed further in the petition that she had developed the land by fencing it which showed that it was her property, yet Godwin Isah through a text message he sent to her said he has revoked the land.
It was further gathered in the petition that the same Godwin Isah went and demolished part of the petitioner’s fence, erected a structure on the land and started to threaten her.
Bajeh therefore prayed the House to intervene in the matter by calling the said Godwin Isah to ordwe and invite him to explain why he encroached on the said land.
In addition, she also wanted the House to order Godwin Isah to rebuid the demolished fence or be made to pay compensation for same.
Further more,the House should stop Godwin Isah or his cronies from trespassing on the land and threatening her, just as she pleaded with the House to help put machinery in motion to help recover her land.
