The Onojie of Uromi, Anslem Edenojie, has requested N100 million from the Edo State Private Property Protection Committee, led by Justice Alero Edodo-Eruaga, as compensation for five parcels of land allocated to David Ikhuoria.
This request was made during his appearance before the committee to address his involvement in the land dispute with Ikhuoria, who filed a petition seeking resolution through the committee’s intervention.
The Onojie, however, informed the committee that he was demanding N100m as cash homage for the five parcels of land.
The petitioner’s counsel, however, informed the committee that his client could not afford such an amount of money to pay as homage to the Onojie having earlier paid N3.5m as development levy.
The committee, thereafter, directed the traditional leader to go back home to his dukedom and look into the matter with a view to resolving the grey issues before the next adjourned date of May 9, 2024.
