The applicants in suit number PLD/J556/25 filed through counsel, A. OlocheEsq, the duo petitioned Musa Paul Gindiri, Dauda Paul Gindiri  ,Garta gere stone crushing company limited that the land situated at Nyango gyel is their late father property which no compensation was pay to any member of the family. 

Pam Chu challenged the governor and agencies as the chief security to safeguard the lives and properties of the citizens rather than involved in land matter which is already before a competent court of jurisdiction. 


The late Mr Gyang Davou son Mr Pam Chu  said he  is suing in his personal capacity and on behalf of surviving grand children of the late father , under statutory law in 1974. 

The claimant and the entire grand children of the late Gyang Davou who died in testate are the  legitimate and bona-fide customary owners by inheritance of the property  in dispute measuring 379384.514SQM (about 39 hectares)  lying and situate at kilometers 8,Yakubu Gowon way Bukuru Road, Jos South LGA Plateau State sprawling through Mungyel in Dadin kowa (Barkin AKawu)* Area through to WAEC office then opposite Air Force Girls Secondary school as well as opp Jenny filling station and Kalwa house. 

That the interference of the family of Paul Gindiri on the property lying at Kilometers away on their entire members of the family of late Gyang Davou without any evidence prove of buying the land is unlawful and illegal to their inheritance. 

According to him, before plateau State government should confiscate their inheritance and concealed it Paul Gindiri family, we are asking for any documents or certificate of approval issued in the name of the Paul Gindiri by any government  or their agencies  ,ministries over the property  in dispute  lying  and  situated at kilometers 8 .


Their claim invokes Sections 38 and 42 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (1999, as amended), guaranteeing freedom of protection from discrimination, and Articles 2 and 3 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights (Cap A9, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004).

One community head of Nyango Gyel, Alh.Salisu Abubakar in an exclusive interview appealed to governor mutfwang to intervene and release the youth leader and two of the youths arrested during his visit. 

He said, they are not claiming the landed property but the community acquired the land for use as burial ground for years from the late Gyang Davou who sold to them to be use as cementry. 

Abubakar stated parts of the lands were sold out to individuals who have started developing it but he is surprised on faithful day government agencies climbed down and embark on arrest without following the channel of communication with the community head. 

According to him, we are peaceful community and we are calling on the government to dialogue with the parties involved in finding lasting solution because those who acquired this land had commenced building at site. 

He noted that the administration of governor Caleb Manasseh is ready to unite the people of the state, when the children of Baba Paul Gindiri claiming the ownership of the land in dispute the enforcing security might not resolve the dispute. 

We urge government to release our youth in their custody and also resolve it amicably. 

One of the land owner, Christopher D. Lang made a passionate call on the government to intervene and provide relief to them because the self acclaimed family of Paul Gindiri doesn't have any proof of payment to us as the original land owners. 

Christopher reiterated that the truth owner of the property are the family of Gyang Davou Ngyango Gyel and we have never had land dispute with any family.
