…Beg Security Agencies To Intervene
Abubakar Yunus, Abuja
Residents of Orozo Mass Housing Estate otherwise called CAJAAH Estate in Nasarawa State on Saturday protested what they described as the distortion of the estate’s plan, and exposure of residents to security threats and armed robbery.
The residents subsequently called on the Nasarawa State Government, the Traditional council in the State and the security agencies to rescue them.

In an interview with journalists on the sidelines of the protest, the Chairman of CAJAAH Housing Estate Landlords Association, Mr. Mathias Amuta, said the lives of residents have been under threat, a situation he said required the urgent attention of the authorities.
He said, “We are tired of this harassment, intimidation, the extortion by the Director of CAJAAH Limited, please save us from these people. We are in a situation whereby we are at work, our families are not safe, we say enough of this.”
Chairman, who was represented by Barrister Tom Egbele, said what prompted this peaceful demonstration was the recent attack on the estate. He explained that in early 2022, Emir of New Karshi, Muhammad Bako III took over CAJAAH Nigeria Ltd. But, Before his (Emir’s) takeover, we made a series of attempts to see him in 2020, asking him for his intervention concerning the crisis amongst Directors in CAJAAH Nigeria Limited, but he refused to grant our request.
Also Speaking, Mrs. Oladipo Grace said,” This situation in the Estate is a major threat to us as residents. Our wives, mothers, and children too and even our husbands have not been at peace. So that is why we are here today to say no more to this. We are under threat. We cannot live peacefully in our homes. We have secured our properties here. We have invested our money here so we shouldn’t be living in fear.”
