Akwa Ibom Community Leader Alleges Police Backing Land Grabbers, Appeals to Tinubu, IGP for Intervention A community leader from Akwa Ibom State, Udeme Eyosukwa, has accused powerful village heads and compromised police officers of orchestrating widespread land grabbing, intimidation, extortion, and violent attacks against residents. He claims thousands have been displaced through fabricated criminal charges and forced sales of ancestral land, leaving many unable to return to their community. Eyosukwa has appealed to President Bola Tinubu, the Inspector-General of Police, and security agencies to urgently intervene and establish an independent investigation panel. #LandGrabbing #PoliceAbuse #AkwaIbom

The Centre for Human and Socio-Economic Rights (CHSR) has condemned the killings at Owode Onirin Motor Spare Parts Market, where armed thugs and policemen allegedly working for landgrabber Abiodun Hakeem Ariori attacked traders, leaving at least six dead.

Full disclosure and prosecution of the four police officers involved. Compensation for victims’ families and medical support for the injured. Permanent security at the market to prevent further violence. CHSR described the incident as a “barbaric massacre” and vowed to pursue justice. #OwodeMassacre #JusticeForTraders #EndLandGrabbing
