The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, has declared a crackdown on illegal occupants in Abuja, vowing to rid the capital city of criminal elements.
He said: “Those claiming to be the owners of this land, why are you not developing the land? We are going to make sure that all illegal occupants are thrown out. It’s unfortunate because security is key and paramount.”
“Any government that can’t provide security for its citizens shouldn’t be in government.”
“We have to be careful about this poverty thing. All over the world, China, there are areas where you can see poverty, but that does not give you room to make people uncomfortable, kidnap them. No, we will not allow that, so let nobody use this poverty thing as an excuse.”
“We have this attitude that everything must be done by the government. I will not allow criminality under any guise.”
