The facts of the case as disclosed by the pleadings and evidence at the trial are that appellant claimed that she was one of a number of persons living in an area acquired by the Federal Government in 1973 for the establishment of a Fertilizer Industry. She was among those, who were as a consequence of the displacement, compensated by the allocation of alternative plots of land by the Kaduna Local Government. She was allocated plots E1A and E1B. She had since occupied those plots and still remains in occupation. The parcels of land so allocated measure 100ft. by 64 ft. by 94 and is situate at Ungwar Mission Ward, Makera, Kaduna-South.
