A woman, Madam Sadaatu Mamadelo Belukor has cried out to the Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, over alleged trespass on her property.

In a petition dated June 21, 2019, Madam Belukor said it had been difficult retrieving her inherited property despite the fact that some the culprits had been jailed.

She claimed that some people, who are not the original owners of the property were wrongly paid compensation by a government agency.

She claimed some person had unlawfully sold her inherited property to local, state and federal governments.

The woman said that despite a court judgment sentencing six accused persons to jail over the matter, nothing was done to restore her ownership of the property.

The petition reads: "The accused persons were sentenced to six years imprisonment or an option of N15,000 fine by an Ilorin Chief Magistrate's Court. During the trial, the people behind the accused persons ran to Akerebiata Upper Area Court IV, with another application on the subject matter.

"I was served to appear before the court, but surprisingly these people did not show up till the matter was struck out."

She added that none of the customary land owners numbering 82 tendered any valid documents to back up their claims before they were paid millions of naira as compensation from 1975 to date.
