The Imo State Government White Paper Implementation Committee on Lands and other Related Matters said it has recovered and returned a total of 987 properties from former governor of the State, Rochas Okorocha, to their owners.
Chairman of the committee, Professor Ukachukwu Awuzie, who made the disclosure to Daily Sun yesterday, also alleged that he has been receiving threatening calls from strange people while trying to complete the task before him.
Awuzie noted that the number returned excluded so many others the White paper recommended for investigation.
He said: “I don’t know the number yet, but it has been published; according to the White paper, those who have challenges are about 987. There are so many other people whose land the White paper said, investigate and find out if the acquired land is within a government area, and we have not done that,” Awuzie said.
On the threats he said “basically there are no serious challenges because we have the maximum support of the State government and agencies. I was an ASUU president, I don’t reckon with threats. I know the God I serve will have to do what is right at all times; we would all meet our creator one day.
