The people of River state dealt with ndị Igbo. Our properties were taken over by them and tagged abandoned properties when the war broke out. They refused to leave when the war ended. Many ndị Igbo never got those properties back till date. We will never forget.

Properties legitimately acquired and duly registered with lands before the civil war had been confiscated and regarded as “abandoned property.”

Nigerians converted and confiscated their compatriots’ property and carried on as if nothing happened from 1970 till date.

Nobody knows how many of the direct victims of this injustice died of heart break, seeing their countrymen use the power of government to unjustly confiscate property they laboured for years to build under the pretence that the property was abandoned. Smh.
