The FCT Minister had on Wednesday ordered the immediate closure of the Dei-Dei International Building Material Market following yesterday’s violence which claimed four lives.

Dei-Dei Crisis: Abuja minister confirms four people killed, orders shutdown of market'As a matter of fact, I saw four corpses this is very sad and totally unequivocally unacceptable in Abuja,' the minister says.
