After several failed attempts to recover illegally acquired land from suspected grabbers, the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) on Friday stormed Okanje District to demolish some structures. Okanje District is one of the fastly developing areas within the Federal Capital City and surrounded by Kabusa Community and other well-designed mass housing estates. The demolition operation also came on the heels of warnings from the FCT Administration against buying land from local chiefs, describing it as a risky venture and total economic sabotage. Galadima was said to have warned occupants of the illegal land, that demolition was inevitable, as FCTA was determined to stop flagrant abuses of Abuja’s Master Plan. One of the affected illegal occupants of the land, who simply identified herself as Mrs. Osage bemoaned the reality of the demolition threat.
