Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has vowed that any unauthorised building erected in some areas in the nation’s capital will be demolished without any compensation.
Speaking during a press conference on Thursday, in Abuja, the former Rivers State governor, stated that his administration will continue to destroy properties illegally built on government lands.
He added that it was unacceptable for individuals to construct any building without proper approval.
Wike said: “Let me use this opportunity to tell Nigerians and residents of Abuja, we are not afraid of blackmailing.
“In fact, you cannot be in this kind of position and say you cannot be blackmailed particularly as regards this Abuja. There are so many land grabbers. Some of us have come to put our feet down.

“Let heaven fall. It is even better that heaven comes down now so that we would not be fasting again to go to heaven.
“We would stop anybody who thinks they will take government land for whatever reason with formal approval. We would not look at your face. If you like be a civil rights activist or a television personality,” Wike, the immediate past governor of Rivers State, said at the event.
“What is wrong is wrong; no amount of blackmail can stop us. People take government property without approval or documentation.”
