Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) on Monday demolished a mega store sitting on a one-storey building in Dawaki, Bwari Area Council of the nation’s capital city for allegedly failing structural integrity tests.
Daily Independent reported that FCTA officials, who were accompanied by a combined team of security operatives, stormed the area with their bulldozer and pulled down the structure attached to the site of a collapsed uncompleted building, which killed one construction worker working in the site some months ago.
It was observed that the owner of the store was allowed to evacuate the wares before the building was reduced to rubbles within minutes, without any casualties incurred in the process.
Speaking with newsmen immediately after the demolition exercise, the Director, Development Control Department of the FCTA, Murkta Galadima, explained that the exercise carried out site sitting on Plot 59 Dawaki Relocation Scheme, was a follow up on the unfortunate building collapse incident, where life was lost in the process.
