EXCLUSIVE: How Enugu Governor, Ugwuanyi's Henchmen Used Nonexistent Company To Fraudulently Acquire Property Revoked From Residents By State GovernmentSaharaReporters’ investigation reveals the top government officials were involved in the land racketeering in the state in order to shield the governor from public scrutiny and any culpability.

Sources told SaharaReporters that the governor's henchmen would have as far as stoke communal crises in communities where the landed property has become lucrative, using proxies.One of the sources said due to the increasing rate of inflation and volatility in the money market, most residents have turned to buying property instead of keeping their money in the bank.

One of the companies identified as being floated by the governor's cronies for such land racketeering is the Coal City Eastern Extension Estate Alliance Limited. In a letter obtained by SaharaReporters, the Ministry of Lands and Urban Development had in a public notice signed by the then Commissioner, Dr. Victor Chukwuemeka Nnam, titled:"Public Notice Cancellation/ Revocation Of Layouts Within Government Acquired Area At Ogui/ Ugwuaji/ Amechi Awkunanaw," allocated same property to the Coal City Eastern Extension Layout/Estate clearly 10 months and 20 days before it was incorporated as Coal City Eastern Extension Layout/Estate Alliance Limited.

Valley Layout, Isiagu Village, Ugwuaji. Umunnugwu-Ndiagah Layout, Ugwuaji Promised Land Layout, Umunnaji Ngene, Ugwuaji. Meanwhile, while the governor's cronies through the Ministry of Land were doing their business, Governor Ugwuanyi ironically on August 29, 2021, announced the setting up of an Administrative Panel of Inquiry into Ugwuaji land dispute. On September 4, he inaugurated the six-man panel chaired by a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Chief James Ikeyi.

While Governor Ugwuanyi gave the panel two months to complete its assignment, he warned that all claims to, and/or activities on the disputed parcels of the land should cease forthwith until the final submission of the panel’s report and the state government’s action on the matter. Also, the Act clearly states in section 28 the conditions by which the governor can revoke land and section 29 talks about compensation for revoked land.
