Controversy Surrounds Demolition of Abuja Estate
A multi-million-naira residential estate in Abuja’s Karu area has been demolished, sparking accusations of unlawful demolition and land grabbing. The estate, developed by NGBEDE & Brothers International Company Ltd, had secured full development approvals from the FCT Department of Development Control.
The demolition, reportedly sanctioned by FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, was carried out without prior notice, leaving residents and stakeholders stunned. The estate, covering about four hectares, was brought down, raising questions about the legitimacy of the demolition.
The demolition has sparked allegations of land grabbing and unlawful demolition, with many questioning the minister’s role in the matter. The lack of notice and apparent disregard for due process have added to the controversy.
The demolition of the Abuja estate has raised serious concerns about the rule of law and property rights in the FCT. As the situation unfolds, it will be essential to determine the facts surrounding the demolition and ensure that justice is served.
