Wike Confronts FCT Residents Over Alleged Illegal Land Claims [VIDEO]

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, confronted residents of the FCT over allegations of illegal land acquisition during a tense visit to the community on Tuesday.

In a video shared on social media, Wike criticized residents who had protested against recent property demolitions in the area.

The incident occurred in the Lugbe area of the FCT.

Accompanied by security personnel, Wike reprimanded the residents for their purported claims of illegal land ownership.

“You cannot come to a place and seize land and say it is your own. We will not allow that,” he stated. “If you do not know what to do, we will teach you what to do.”

The residents, however, disputed Wike’s claims, asserting that they possessed documents that proved their legal ownership of the land.

“We are not land grabbers, we are developers. We have papers. We have submitted these papers to the authorities,” some residents said.

The minister responded angrily to their remarks, cutting them off with, “Keep quiet!

“Every land in the FCT belongs to the FCT. The Supreme Court has ruled that the area councils do not have the power to allocate land.”

Wike added that the proper legal channel for disputes was the courts, warning the residents, “Who told you you can talk? Is it because I came down to talk to you? If you think that you take something… you are not the only one. Be careful. Stupid.”

The FCT administration has recently been carrying out demolitions, citing violations of the city’s master plan.
