From ADETUTU FOLASADE-KOYI, Abuja
They Senate, yesterday stopped the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) from going ahead with the planned demolition of 37 residential estates in Abuja.
The demolition exercise, which was intensified in the last couple of weeks, had claimed hundreds of residential homes, many of them under construction, at the capital city.
The Senate’s order was handed down through its Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Committee chaired by Senator Smart Adeyemi.
Meanwhile, top officials of the FCTA told the committee yesterday that documents submitted by the developers of the demolished estate in Lugbe, Abuja, indicated that they did not comply with the law over acquisition of the land.
Speaking when the developers and officials of the Federal Capital Territory Administration appeared before the FCT committee, Adeyemi said with information reaching them through the meeting, further investigations into the matter would have to be carried out.
The committee, however, urged, the Development Control Department of the FCTA to suspend its plans to continue the demolition of 37 estates that were said to have been constructed on illegally acquired plots, pending the outcome of its investigation.
Man’s inhumanity to man. F C D A and its development control department are twin evils.

Ur guys are insane, Nigerian Government needs to get knowledge from the United States. Fucking Nigeria Government
The Director Development control Mr Yahaya has deep rooted hatred for igbos in Abuja.check his records.Pls GEJ should call him to order
So shameful that the Government of today do not care of what is happening to the masses. If not how could they in their widest imagination think of demolishing an estate where they have not provided any.
Useless leaders! but wait for the anger of the lord
where were fcda when these houses were under construction,why did’t they issue a stop work order,devils
Am not suprised Mr Adeyemi will quickly hand down the so-called letter. Is he not one of the many owners of illegal structures in Abuja City? I still remember the case of the school in Area 11 during El-Rufai reign…Haba Senator!
EFCC should investigate Big Bros immediately before ignorant Nigerians are duped thru the so called free lottery.
I DON’T UNDERTSAND SMART ADEYEMI’s STAND O. NO BE THIS MAN DEM SAY JUSTIFIED THE DEMOLITION OF THE 500 RESIDENTIAL ESTATE AT LUGBE ROAD? NO HEAR HIM…..”Adeyemi said with information reaching them through the meeting, further investigations into the matter would have to be carried out”….
WHY HE NO CARRY OUT THE “FURTHER INVESTIGATION” BEFOREHAND?
“SIN-A-TORS” ARE CONFIRMED SINNERS WHILE
HOUSE OF REPRESENTA”THIEVES” MEMBERS ARE CONFIRMED ARMED ROBBERS.
Why didn’t the FCDA stopped the developer at the beginning of the construction, am sure it was not built over night.
May God deliver us from the wicked leaders of this Country.
Who has ever obtained the right approval from this FCDA? Where were they when someone acquired the so-called illegal land, cleared and erected building only for them to show up with bulldozers? Until people begin to take laws into their hands with these corrupt officials who encourage people to buy lands illegally and turn around to harrass and intimidate them.
all of you the leaders continue to loot loot loot loot and loot, even when you know that life is short for all nowadays. what r u gona do with all dis loots 4 crying out loud. make una help poor man cos be u muslim or xtian, heaven is real. u no what 2 do. u r all learned, but just cos of ur selfish interest, greed, over zealousness, u will continue to unleash mayhem, sufferings, homelessness, and all sort of evil to the poor n weak masses. This is the right time 4 all of u 2 take certain things into consideration, or it may 2 late 4 u all. Allah, almighty God, is watching all of u
It is unfortunate that some people saddled with responsibilities in this country do not consider the gravity of some of their actions.The man who decided to carry out the demolition of hundreds of houses built with loans from banks with collaterals must have his head examined.I do not even know what punishment will be enough for him.The FCDA must be made to rebuild those houses or pay compensation
But it beats my imagination that the people doing this demolition are once upon a time Job seekers praying to God to get him a job. I then ask if the job is asking for and got it is to use it to send people to their early grave. No wonder why some civil servants die as soon as they retire or sacked. Remember Modekai and Haman in the bible who wants the former hanged but ended up being hanged on the gallow. Mr. President please talk on this demolition execise and exonerate yourself from this evil act of your subodinates .
Officials will sell the plot ‘ land another will demolish that is wickedness if it were u will u be happy
This is sheer callousness,i jst got to hear it is even my Oga dat dis bad luck fell upon. 500 housing units worth billions of naira, completed n jst abt to be acquired by interested buyers. Engr Mbaka,Sir,u dnt hav to lose hope,pls sue those stupid FCTA, they must pay u bak ur money. Pls accept my heartfelt sympathy.
This minister,Bala Moh’d and his team are nothing but destroyers of lives & properties. God punish devil, Dan iska!
FCDA is very porous in its function of restoring FCT master plan. Are they claiming that the estates are conform structures in an unconfirmed place? or is it that the developers have no title deed?. Why were they watching the buildings from foundation level? This is how slums inundate the landscape of FCT, today FCDA want to displace the poor from their abodes due to their ineffectiveness. No body would love to be subjected in an inhuman condition in a nauseating environment. Compensation and resettlement is imperative in this case to avoid attracting and putting retributive law in action,
This country needs a revolution of the masses,period.
