Spates of Demolition Exercises left Abuja Land-scam victims at loss as their settlements and houses were demolished by the FCDA. Reports say the indigenous Gwari/Gbagyi/Gwagwa settlers sold the land to them on fictitious claims and with spurious papers. The buyers ought to have gone direct to source yet the issue of indigenous tribes selling lands that have already being allocated to other parties to unsuspecting non-indigenes should be addressed instead of FCDA rushing in always to bulldoze non-indigenes' houses alone in the midst of while leaving scores of indigents untouched in these selective purging exercises! A tribunal should be set up to look into these matters. Armed Mopols and Police Squad teams were on scene grabbing phones, cameras and bashing folks trying to capture the experience even those who were trying to make simple phone calls got slaps and kicks for their efforts. Why the Free media Blackout? Hmm, this smells really fishy! The Area, by the way, happens to be Durumi Phase 1 & 2 districts at Apo, Garki. Lives have already been lost due to the carelessness and callousness of the Demolition handlers including a baby left in a house previously unmarked for demolition but randomly chosen on the spur of the moment! The government should come to the aid of these people else we might start having reprisal attacks; what with Boko Haram, these ones should not start another thing in FCT again.

Story. Looks like the demolition of a slum.

@Poster,  I hardly understand what you've written. Again, your pics depicts the demolition of makeshift houses in a fast growing slum

Those aren't houses! Those are shacks!

This should be off Abuja. This building is real cracks Even 1800 buildings wasn't like this.

Simple phone calls? Are there complicated ones?

The shacks as seen in the pics should all be brushed off with heavy bulldozers before
they infest abuja like in lagos.

There has to be at least one major city in pristine state pls.
clear off the shack i say.

pity the victims.

tee hee! neatly captured.

Anyone buying land from the Gwaris without visiting FCDA is looking for trouble.

I know that parts of Durumi are horrible slums that will create problems for urban planning now and in the future. This is just a continuation of what El rufai did in nearby  Apo which is better off today.

I feel sorry for the people affected though they saw it coming. Life aint easy for the poor within the city but there are many options on the outskirts so why dare the authorities.

Useless country with "fresh" air!

From ur pics dis area don't look planned at all.we all need to start doing d right thing in dis country sorry man next time follow due process ok. RIDE ON WITH UR GOOD WORK FCDA.
