The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has defended the ongoing demolition of properties in Abuja, dismissing accusations of blackmail and pledging to continue the crackdown on illegal developments.

Speaking during the distribution of operational vehicles to security agencies at the FCTA Secretariat on Thursday, Wike emphasized that the Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA) is targeting structures built on government-owned lands without proper authorization.

“Let me use this opportunity to tell Nigerians and residents of Abuja, we are not afraid of blackmail,” Wike said.

“In fact, you cannot be in this kind of position and say you cannot be blackmailed, particularly in 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.”

In recent months, the FCTA has ramped up the removal of illegal structures in estates and informal settlements across the city. According to Wike, many of these structures pose security risks or encroach on government land.
