The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA), on Friday, demolished a two-storey building located on plot 4545 at SIL Estate, Mbora District, Abuja, for contravening the land use act and for being built on a plot designated as an open area.
Addressing newsmen after the demolition, on behalf of the FCTA, Alh. Muktar Galadima, Director, Department of Development Control, described the building as illegal and that many similar buildings would also be demolished in Lugbe, along Airport Road.
As long as the department is concerned, the building stands illegal and we vowed to remove it. Thank God today, we have pulled it down
The demolished structure will be reverted to its original use. There is a provision for a master point, if there is any eventuality this is the place where residents will converge as their safe haven before aid comes.
