The Minister of Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike has reportedly revoked lands belonging to former President Muhammadu Buhari, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, and the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, George Akume.

Wike also revoked 759 other prominent figures and organizations in Maitama II for non-payment of Certificate of Occupancy.

In a statement, the Special Adviser to the FCT Minister, Lere Olayinka quoted the Minister as threatening to revoke lands belonging to the Minority Leader of the House of Representatives, Kingsley Chinda, former President of the Senate, Iyorchia Ayu.

Others to be affected are Ameh Ebute, the Chief Whip of the Senate, Tahir Monguno, and 610 others for outstanding fees owed to the FCTA for Certificate of Occupancy not paid within two weeks.

This revocation by the Minister comes months after he made several pleas to residents of the FCT, particularly those residing in hybrid areas of the nation’s capital, to pay outstanding fees owed to the FCTA or risk revocation of their lands.
