Lere Olayinka, the media aide to the Minister of Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has challenged those accusing the minister of land grabbing to come up with proof.
Lere gave the challenge in a statement on Wednesday while reacting to a viral video about land located in the Life Camp area of the territory, of which some persons claimed ownership. The FCT Minister's spokesperson in the statement challenged those saying the land legally belongs to them to provide a certificate of occupancy granted by the FCTA.
Wike's aide stated that the company then occupied the land and built 'permanent structures on it and rented them out without any approval from the government.' He said: 'On November 18, 2020, after occupying the land for 36 years without approval, Paulosa Nigeria Limited applied to the then Minister of the Federal Capital Territory for the conversion of the temporary right of occupation to a statutory right of occupation.
