He said, “The three buildings belong to the Aba Textile Mills PLC,but are being occupied by unknown persons. These properties belong to the state.We have sealed and marked them Abia State Government properties.
“So, these illegal occupants are advised to quit immediately because they are not supposed to live there. They have no right to occupy the buildings owned by the state without authorization.All government properties in the hands of individuals in Aba will be recovered from such persons,no matter the status of the people involved.”
Some of the alleged illegal occupants who declined to have their names, told Vanguard that they got the properties from previous administrations and have documents to prove their claims.
