Police officers from the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) yesterday
invaded the Idasho community to force the residents out of their land
which Mr. Dangote, a billionaire businessman, wants to acquire.
Eyewitnesses said that the policemen arrived at
about noon (Nigerian time) and arrested any residents who protested
their invasion. Two eyewitnesses also reported that the officers began
shooting in the air and lobbing teargas at Panseke, one of the villages
in the community.
One resident said the policemen were irked when some members of the
community accosted them and served them a notice indicating that the
land is a subject of an ongoing lawsuit. The invading officers defied
the notice of court process. They arrested and took away residents,
including women, who informed them that they were in court over the
land.
