At least three persons have been confirmed dead with several
others receiving treatment at various hospitals in Zaria,
Kaduna State following the demolition of their houses.
Governor Nasir El-Rufa’i had ordered the demolition of
structures illegally built on lands owned by the state
government, especially, those within education institutions.
According to Daily Trust, the dead persons were among
those whose houses behind the Alhudahuda College in Zaria
were demolished by the Kaduna State Urban Property and
Development Agency (KASUPDA).
One Ali Yayo, a resident of the community behind
Alhudahuda, whose house was demolished, was said to have
suddenly slumped and died.
“There were also Sani Anle and Murtalele who also died
after their houses were demolished. At least, seven residents
of the area are receiving treatment at various hospitals in
Zaria. One of them is Abubakar Mai Sirfani, who lost his
new house in the demolition”, a victim told Daily Trust on
Sunday..
Meanwhile, a Kaduna-based lawyer, Barrister John
Achimugu, has instituted a suit against the Gov. El-Rufa’i,
over the demolition of a whole community in Zaria.
The case was instituted on Friday at the State High
Court, Kaduna but no date has been fixed yet for hearing.
