Residents of Trademore Estate in the Lugbe area of Abuja have protested against the planned demolition of their buildings by the Federal Capital Development
Speaking during the protest, chairman of the residents association, Adewale Adenaike, said the Trademore residents were the victims of the flood caused by a lot of water channels and tributaries diverted into the estate.
“As I said earlier during the press briefing, the protest is a result of flooding in Trademore. Trademore residents are simply victims of the extended flooding situation in Lugbe. “A lot of channels and tributaries have been diverted into Trademore and that is to give way to other estates and what we expected was that the government agencies would do the needful by ensuring that all those waters are diverted away from Trademore,” he said.Adenaike argued that the demolition planned by the FCTA was unnecessary as the estate is not sitting on a flood path.“The demolition that they plan for Trademore is unnecessary because that’s not the reason.
