A poultry farmer, Akomolafe Bankole, has taken to the X platform to lament after his N150 million poultry farm in Lokogoma, Abuja, was allegedly demolished without notice by the  Federal Capital Development Authority.

In a series of posts on Sunday, September 8, Bankole stated that over 5,000 birds have d!ed and 50 workers lost their jobs due to the demolition which he said was carried out without prior notice or warning.

Posting videos of the demolished farm, Bankole 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.”

He stated that all necessary documents including the Certificate of Occupancy, were obtained before establishing the farm, making the demolition a shocking and unjust act.

“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.

I ask—where does the government expect me to start from? Why should I ever think of investing in Nigeria again when this can happen overnight? This is how people fall into depression. But for God, I don’t know how I and my family would even be standing right now.“
