The FCT Department of Development Control which carried out the demolition exercise over the weekend, said the structures had to go to make way for the expansion of the presidential fleet area.

The director of the Department of Development Control, Mukhtar Galadima, told journalists after the exercise, that the chief of air staff had approached the FCT administration in October 2023, of their intentions to remove some squatters from the said land.

Galadima said the FCT minister, Nyesom Wike, impressed it on them that it was the responsibility of the Federal Capital Territory Administration to remove squatters.

“We informed the residents residing on the Nigeria Air Force land about the impending action and granted them a two-month window to pack their belongings.
