On Monday, the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) demolished a multimillion-naira duplex that was illegally constructed on plot 226 in Wuse Zone 6.
The Department of Development Control’s Director, Mr. Mukhtar Galadima, informed the public of this.
Galadima claimed that the structure had been illegally built despite numerous warnings, and he added that his team had conducted a thorough investigation to identify the original plot owner in light of the various allegations being made by the parties.
He said, “That is why we had to remove the building.” He claimed that the developer was not the rightful owner of the property after an investigation proved this.
When development norms and regulations are broken, the FCT Administration, according to him, will not take the status of any defaulting developers into account.
Galadima said:
“We demolished the duplex because somebody built it on someone else’s land without valid title and building plan approval.”
“We allowed the building to this stage before demolishing it because we had to follow all due processes,” he said as quoted by NAN.
