The demolition occurred as part of an expansion project converting roads from Olaiya Junction to Ikirun into modern dual carriageways.

Originally initiated under Rauf Aregbesola’s administration, the project has caused serious hardship for property owners affected by the demolitions.

The Justice for Landlords and Landladies Association revealed ten members died due to difficulties arising from losing their homes.

Speaking on behalf of affected property owners, Moshood Oladejo stated their demolished properties had an estimated total value of N750 million.

Since 2022, the state government has issued only one out of six promised compensation cheques to the affected landlords.

Oladejo emphasized the road dualization project impacted various areas, including Igbona, Ayetoro, Old Garage, Olonkoro, MDS, and Orita Olaiya.

“The N750 million compensation was divided into six tranches, but only one cheque of N150 million was issued.”

“With rising costs of materials like cement and iron rods, we need compensation urgently to rebuild our demolished properties.”

“We respectfully appeal to Governor Adeleke, Osun’s leader, to pay compensation as required by the law without delay.”

In an open letter titled “Heavy And Multiple Taxes: Have Mercy On The People Of Enugu State,” Edeoga accuses the governor of imposing harsh taxes that exacerbate the financial struggles of Enugu residents.

Edeoga claims that the administration’s tax policies, including significant increases in tenement and business taxes, are crushing the local population and worsening poverty.

He argues that these actions contradict fundamental principles of fair taxation and have led to severe economic hardship, including the closure of small businesses.

He appeals to Governor Mbah’s sense of empathy, citing biblical references to plead for relief and arguing that the current tax regime resembles “Taxation Without Representation,” a historical injustice that continues to affect the people of Enugu.
