In a petition by the land owners, signed by Mr Abuo Andrew and forwarded to the Nigeria Police Force , National Human Right Commission , Federal Capital Territory Administration, and Public Complaints Commission and Civil Society Groups for Good Governance the group stated that action of the Abuja Development Control grossly infringes on the fundamental human rights of the occupants which displaced them and threw them into seeking refuge.
In their claims, they said the land was legally acquired and developed by them and they alleged that the minister of Federal Capital Territory was misled to approve the demolition on the grounds that the land is under a high tension electricity line.“We legally acquired the land six years ago from an Estate Company: Niyi Olamide Ventures ,” they said.
The land owners also said they developed the land in line with development standards and created access roads, built culverts and drainages, and electricity. The claimants noted that when they were served notice of demolition, they then approached Abuja Development Control, but the department didn’t state if they violated any laws of their mandate, such as building on sewage, power line, drainage, and access roads, etc.
