Abuja residents petition minister of the Federal Capital Territory Nyesom Wike on threat to demolish their homes in the Sabon Lubgbe Area.
With over 60 duplexes affected, the demolition has rendered hundreds of residents homeless since it began in October, despite the people possessing legitimate ownership ownership documents.
Wike has been accused by the affected residents of reallocating lands to allies, disregarding their rights as legitimate owners.
They said no prior notice was given before the demolitions started.
Verydarkman a popular social media activist wrote "Prince Isaac Omolua
has authorized bulldozers to carry out injustice,I am calling on the attention of alll military senior officers,majors,generals and co,it will be a disgrace and a shame to the entire Nigeria armed forces if they let Nyesom wike do this to someone as great as colonel paul ogbebor,the first Nigerian CADET OF THE NDA CODE 001,a man that carried three bullet wounds from the civil war while sacrificing for Nigeria,I want all senior officers of the army,navy and airforce to understand that tomorrow might be their turn this said land that Nyesom wike is trying to grab has a legel allocation document since 1984 and from nowhere Nyesom wike has revoked it and allocated the land to the company that is allegedly managing his hotels in Portharcourt,he also gave shares to Kingsley chinda the leader of the minority in the house of reps….this is injustice and we will stand against it".
Wike has similar legacy in portharcourt with the hypercity bruhaha so it is easy for people to believe that this can also be a case of land grabbing by force. It is even worst considering that the said people are helpless in the hands of a power drank Wike who is the minister of the FCT.
