The Federal Capital Territory Administration, FCTA, has directed FCT Emergency Management Agency, FEMA to swing into action in identifying fake IDPs in the territory.
Senior Special Assistant to the FCT Minister on Monitoring, Inspection and Enforcement, Comrade Ikharo Attah made this known to Journalists during a clean up at Katampe extension, Karsana in
Abuja
He warned that the cleanup would be a massive one , as all security agencies and AEPB would be on ground towards ensuring that the area is safe.
"It will be a full massive cleanup in Durumi, we will clean the whole Durumi , many persons that are calling themselves Internally Displaced Person, IDP, when they are not, Federal Capital Territory Emergency Management Agency,
FEMA, will be coming to identify them. The Minister is keen to cleanup and rid Durumi of criminalities . Everyone that has monkey villages, shanties , those that built with nylon and plastic bags should start moving now. We will keep on coming to remove all illegalities in Abuja. We are still going to kado, Utako areas, it is a daily continuous work".
Director, Department of Development Control, Muktar Galadima, while speaking to journalists at Ideal Grace estate, decried the rate at which estate developers grab land and commence building without getting approval.
Galadima, who noted that 10 houses were removed for non compliance, said FCT Administration has declared war against all land grabbers in Abuja.
"So having served him notices and giving him time to comply but there was no compliance so we have to come here to enforce. All estate developers in FCT must comply with all status provisions including Development Control manuals, district land use plan , as well as guide lines governing development in FCT. It is a war we have started and we are going to sustain it".
