The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has said he will meet with the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Kayode Egbetokun, following the demolition of illegal duplexes built under a high-tension power line at Apo Dutse District, Abuja, supposedly belonging to the Nigeria Police Force (NPF).
A statement from Wike’s media aide Lere Olayinka said that Wike disclosed this during an on-the-spot assessment of the demolished structures on Friday.
According to him, the Minister said the buildings were erected despite repeated warnings and the denial of development approval by the FCT Department of Development Control.
Staff of FCT Department of Development Control had on Thursday demolished not fewer than eleven units of flats, comprising three and four bedrooms in Apo-Dutse area of the nation’s capital, Abuja, which led to the arrest of the Department’s staff by Police.
