A human rights group, Human Rights Advocacy of Nigeria (HURAN), has called on the Federal Government to, as a matter of urgency, enact a law that will make owners of buildings around pipeline vandalization scenes forfeit such property for not reporting to the authority when the nefarious activity was being carried out.


The group’s President, Comrade Yusuf Muhammed, said if such a law was in place, no landlord or landlady, not even their tenants would see such without reporting to relevant authorities immediately.

Muhammed cited the previous incidents where properties worth millions of naira were destroyed and many lives were lost in inferno occasioned by oil pipes vandalization, adding that if owners of properties around the areas had reported to the authority promptly, the ugly incidents would have been averted.
