No fewer than 25 houses have been pulled down in Kyami district of Abuja by the department of Development Control, Federal Capital Territory Administration .
“About 25 solid structures were removed, and this is not limited to that estate alone, it’s a continuous exercise and we will remove all illegal structures across the Territory. “Abuja is a planned city and you cannot just wake up, cut a chunk of land for yourself and be selling or building for whatever purpose. We will find out and we will surely remove such illegalities and also punish those involved.”
Similarly, the director also issued a 14-day ultimatum to occupants of an illegal building materials market on N16 road corridor in Karsana district, near Gwarinpa district. \According to him, government was desirous of commencing construction on the road but because of its human face, his team was at the market to first sensitize the traders and find a peaceful way of removing the market without tears.
“This place is a corridor of a road, so the only structures that we will leave here are indigenous structures, belonging to the natives of the area. So any other structure, whether it is permanent or it is temporarily, as long as it is within the corridor of the road, it will be removed.” He however, appealed for an alternative place even if it were temporary, to enable them to operate and feed their families and dependents, even as he berated they were been owed and rushing to move out would risk getting their monies from customers who bought on credit difficult if not impossible.
