Residents of Orozo Mass Housing Estate otherwise called CAJAAH Estate in Nassarawa State on Saturday protested what they described as the mishandling of the estate’s plan, and exposure to security threats and armed robbery in the estate.
The residents called on the Nasarawa State government, the Traditional council in the State and the Department of state security services (DSS) under the leadership of the Inspector General of Police to please rescue the residents of the masses of the Orozo Mass Housing in the Estate.
In an interview with journalists on the sidelines of the protest, the Chairman of CAJAAH Housing Estate Landlords Association, Mr. Mathias Amuta, said our lives are under the threat and they should please help them.
He said, “We are tired of this harassment, intimidation, the extortion by the director of CAJAAH limited, please save us from these people, a situation whereby we are at work, our Families are not safe, we say enough of this.”
Chairman, who was represented by Barrister Tom Egbele, said what prompted this peaceful demonstration this Afternoon because of the recent attack on the estate, explaining that in early 2022, Emir of New Karshi, Muhammad Bako III. took over Cajaah Nigeria Ltd. But, Before his (Emir) takeover, we made a series of attempts to see him in 2020, asking him for his intervention concerning the crisis amongst directors in CAJAAH Nigeria Limited, but he refused to grant our request.
“We have made several attempts to visit the turned those attempt down just to see him in February 2022, and inform us that he has taken over the Estate, we said fine, if that is good and bring development that we have been longing for, we would welcome it.
“After that, he informs us that he has appointed One Christian Chukwu as a general manager and he has implemented trouble, giving residents sleepiness at night.
“He brought bandits, and thugs into the Estate and harassed our security personnel I. September 7, 2022, he was here with security men, and four of our security were arrested, and detained at Lafiya prison, again, on 4th of January,2023, he came with bandits, beat our security men and took them away. It took the grace of God we did not record any casualty”, he said.
Also Speaking, Mrs. Oladipo Grace said,” This is a major threat to us as residents, threat to our wives, mothers, and children too and even our husbands. So that is why we are here today to say no more to this. We are under threat. We cannot live peacefully in our homes. We have secured our properties here. We have invested our money here so we shouldn’t be living in fear.”
