The former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, has been accused by Residents of Ijoka Community in Ado-Ekiti of reducing them to refugees in their own land through the demolition exercise carried out by his administration.

The residents of the community claimed that their properties were demolished without prior notification. They also alleged that they were not compensated for their lost properties, while those compensated were paid monies far below the value of their properties.

They Ijoka elders and other residents, who were led by the Elejoka, Chief Lawrence Omodara, made the revelations during a courtesy visit to the Deputy Governor, Otunba Bisi Egbeyemi.

The elders stated that the shock many residents of the community suffered as a result of the demolition, led to their untimely death.

They, however, sought the assistance of the state government for their compensation to be paid adding that their demands for compensation from Fayose did materialise before he left office on October 15.

One of the community leaders, Mr. Joseph Fagbuaro, said Fayose gave them several appointments to meet on the issue of compensation which the ex-governor did not honour until the expiration of his tenure.

Fagbuaro told InoutNaija: “Truly what happened to us in Ijoka in the last administration was not proper, it was about 5 O’clock in the evening that the former Governor Fayose started demolishing our houses, destroyed our properties and our ancestral homes; where we used to perform traditional rites during some festivals in Ado Ekiti, without notifying us, without discussing it with anyone what he (Fayose) wanted to use the houses or the land to do.

“We appreciate you (the Deputy Governor) for granting us audience, all attempts to make our plight known to the government during Fayose regime were unsuccessful, he gave us appointments several times but failed to attend to us.

“Our houses were demolished without prior notice alongside with our belongings inside the houses.

“Some of us went to the farm before we returned, our buildings had been pulled down.

“Please help us, some of us died because they had nowhere to go, when their houses were demolished because it is not all of us that have children that built houses.

“Some keep renting houses about, imagine somebody of my age, 73 years just going about to rent house.

“This is why we are here, please help us, some of us are now refugees in own native land.

“Also, majority of us were not compensated at all while those who were compensated got peanuts compared to the value of what was destroyed.

“The whole Ijoka community was about going to extinction; all our buildings and lands had been demolished and cleared for road by the past administration.

“We plead for the intervention of the State government, we want the restoration of our ancestral home, we don’t want our community to vanish like that and we want our people to be properly compensated as well.”

The deputy governor, in his response, who promised that the government will look into the matter of the demolition, as he expressed surprise over the claim that majority of the people who houses were demolished had not been compensated.

Egbeyemi said: “My boss, Governor Kayode Fayemi, like people to be straightforward because he upholds the virtue of integrity and truthfulness.”

The Same Fayose dey were singing his praises . Hypocrisy of the highest order. After four years they will also say Fayemi have turned them into slaves.

Fayose would have turned Beerfraudians to refugee without country of origin if not PMB intervened and locked cownu

The government are always heartless when it comes to matter like this
They collect people's land without prior notice; without proper compensation

They wee tell you "all properties belong to the federal government" I ask, who made that law ehn

If to say b4:dis place for don full.

1 king 1 era. May we not be forgotten in Jesus name!

dangerous man and the best saint of biafuro

Why were all these not revealed when he was there? after all, it would have being a point of campaign against his candidate. I hope this new government will be responsive.
