Again, Illegal Residential Houses, Worship Centres, Shops, Schools, Others Demolished In Abuja

The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA), on Tuesday,
demolished another set of illegal structures ranging from
residential houses, worship centres, shops, schools, vocational
workshops, block making industries, uncompleted buildings and
shanties in Iddo Sabo community, Abuja Municipal Area Council
(AMAC), Abuja.

Chairman, FCT Ministerial Taskforce on City Sanitation, Comrade
Ikharo Attah, who led the team, insisted that it was going to be a
comprehensive removal of all the infractions in the community,
especially those near the road corridors.

According to him: “We started the exercise in Iddo Sabo. What we
did today is like a demolition rehearsal, because we have not
really started doing what we are supposed to do here.

“We have to spend time to work here because the illegality
committed here is really very ugly,” he declared.

]MHe said there were very few structures in the community about
18 months ago, which hardly could someone notice from the Airport
road, but today, the structures are very massive in their numbers,
and it is a worrisome development.

“The land was hitherto been used by the locals for farming
activities pending when they are fully resettled, are now converted
into a massive housing site,” he explained.

He, therefore, advised property developers to desist from the
acquisition of land from village chiefs with a view to escaping the
consequences of contravening the FCT land use Act.

The demolition team, however, comprises security personnel and
relevant agencies of the FCT Administration.
