Delta Warns Asaba Airport’s Land Encroachers

The Delta State Government has warned all land trespassers on the land belonging to Asaba International Airport to desist, stating that the land earmarked for the airport extend beyond where the perimeter fence end.

A statement signed by the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Mr Chiedu Ebie stated, “It has become expedient to clarify for the information and guidance of the general public, particularly land developers around the Asaba International Airport, that the Airport land extends beyond the perimeter fence which has been erected primarily to safeguard aircraft and prevent any form of encroachment on the airport runway”.

Mr Ebie warned property developers who have wrongfully built and are still developing structures on the land earmarked for the airport to desist from such.

“This is mainly due to their erroneous assumption that the boundary of the airport land ends where the perimeter fence has been erected,” the statement clarified.

He further warned property developers to desist from encroachment on the adjoining land to the perimeter fence of the airport and that all farming activities therein were also prohibited as security agencies had been directed to apprehend and prosecute defaulters.
