… Wike, Chinda Were Teenagers When My Husband Built Abuja 42 Years Ago — Octogenarian Wife Of Late Col Ogbebor, Mrs Rita Lori Ogbebor
The wife of the late Colonel Paul Ogbebor, Mrs Rita Lori Ogbebor, has stated that her late husband was among those who built the Nigerian capital city, Abuja.
She said it would therefore be inappropriate for the present government of Bola Tinubu to forcefully take over their lands which they had been in possession for over four decades.
On Wednesday, SaharaReporters reported how residents of Life Camp area of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, cried out in response to the FCT Minister, Nyseom Wike’s revocation of their land interests.
In multiple videos uploaded on X (formerly Twitter), the FCT officials were seen storming the community with a bulldozer to demolish the houses but they were resisted by the residents.
The residents claimed that there was a subsisting court order stopping the FCT administration from demolishing their houses and declaring the revocation of their interests as illegal.
Martins Vincent Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan, a social media influencer, said in one of the videos that the revoked land belonged to a late prominent military soldier whose family members are currently occupying it.
