Residents of Mandinary Darusalam this morning held a press conference to appeal to government to intervene timely as their eviction notice expired yesterday.
According to Ebrima Sallah,the Sheriff Division issued an eviction notice to them dated the 13th of August,2024,relating to a leased property located in Kombo Kerewan in the name of Mr.Serign B Jobe.
“By this notice,we are warned to vacate from the said property on or before the 13th of September,2024.Accordingly , failure to do so forceful eviction will ensue.” He said.
If the eviction is implemented as planned,it is expected to displace more than one thousand households with a total population of over twenty thousand.
Mr Sallah added that each compound owner has his/her land transfer documents,pays rates and taxes and in on the process of acquiring occupancy and title deeds.Thus, contributing towards national development.
” However,the land encroachment caused by Mr.Sering Jobe’s leased property located in Kombo Kerewan has hindered our documentation”
