EKO HOT BLOG reports that the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has demolished mechanic shops illegally constructed on the land earmarked for livestock market at Kugbo on Abuja-Nyanya – Keffi expressway.

The Senior Special Assistant on Monitoring, Inspection and Enforcement to the Minister of the FCT, Ikharo Attah, who led the demolition on Saturday, said the affected mechanics had been served quit notices in the past three years, with a reminder about five months ago to leave the area.

He explained that the exercise followed the complaints received from the FCT Agriculture and Rural Development Secretariat that some mechanics have taken over the land that was originally designated for livestock market.

The minister’s aide regretted that the situation had forced the ram sellers to move close to the main road, which contradicts sanity of the nation’s capital.

Attah stated that dismantling the structures was in line with the commitment of the present minister of the FCT, Malam Muhammad Bello, to maintain sanity and restore the masterplan.

He said: “In our efforts to sanitise the city in the moment of Eid al-Adha, we discovered that the Kugbo ram market is not where it ought to be. The stretch from the electric pole down to the other side has been occupied by the mechanics and some persons who deal in other items have forced the ram market out of its original place
