The Minister of Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike has
vowed to confront the cartels behind land racketeering in Abuja.
Wike vowed to burst the cartel benefiting from land
racketeering across the federal city.
Addressing selected journalists on Friday, Wike recalled how
lands were fraudulently allocated to several organizations.
Following fraudulent allocations, Wike said staff of the
Federal Capital Territory Authority, FCTA, would ask those affected to
institute legal actions.
According to Wike: “FCTA allocated land of over 300 hectares
to a company in 2001, revoked it in 2022 and reallocated it to another company
in 2005; they revoked it and reallocated it to the initial company without
notice. In 2009, they revoked it and reallocated it to another company again.
“By next week, our legal team and external solicitors have
arranged to defend FCTA on our land matters, what happens here is that even the
leader of the secretariat will tell you to sue; they will sue without defending
it, they won’t go to court. It’s business, it’s racketeering, and you will see
judgments against FCT. This led to me demanding the files, but we are going to
do it in a way that will help us.
“There is a cartel, and to bust it, you must be very
prepared, and for me, I’m prepared and will face it.”
