 SHOCK DEMOLITION HITS BENUE LINKS AS OFFICES, VALUABLES CRUSHED WITHOUT NOTICE 


30th January, 2026    


Anger and frustration erupted on Friday following a sudden demolition exercise carried out in front of the Benue Links Park, Makurdi, which left several business owners counting heavy losses.


The exercise, which eyewitnesses say was executed without prior notice, affected newly acquired office spaces and business containers operating around the park. Victims described the development as traumatic, noting that valuables were still inside the structures when they were pulled down.


One of the affected traders said his newly acquired office frontage was demolished without warning, leaving him shocked and helpless. “It was not funny at all. There was no notice, no chance to move our things,” he lamented.


Several mobile phones and other valuable items were reportedly crushed during the exercise.


 Particularly hard hit was a container belonging to one Iorember Batholomew, which was being prepared as a standard mini office.


 The container was completely destroyed, along with two cartons of Point-of-Sale (POS) machines and other business equipment kept inside.


The affected traders have condemned the manner of the demolition, insisting that proper notice would have allowed them to salvage their properties. They are calling on the relevant authorities to explain the rationale behind the action and consider compensation for losses suffered.


As at press time, officials responsible for the demolition had not issued any official statement on the incident.
