Wike revokes Abuja land plots belonging to Buhari, Okorocha, Dino Melaye, others

 


The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has revoked 762 plots of land in Abuja, citing failure to pay for Certificates of Occupancy (C-of-O).


The affected properties, located in the upscale Maitama 1 District of the federal capital, are owned by prominent Nigerians and corporate organizations.


Among the notable individuals impacted are former President Muhammadu Buhari, former Chief Justice of Nigeria Walter Onnoghen, and ex-governors Rochas Okorocha, Ben Ayade, and Seriake Dickson.


Former and serving federal lawmakers, including Dino Melaye, Enyinnaya Abaribe, and Abdul Ningi, also had their plots revoked.


Additionally, Wike issued a two-week ultimatum to 614 other individuals and entities to settle outstanding fees or risk losing their Rights of Occupancy (R-of-O).


The notice said, “The Federal Capital Territory Administration wishes to inform the allottee (s)/title holder (s) of plots of land in Maitama 1 who have failed to make payment for their Certificate of Occupancy (C-of-O) bills after the expiration of grace period granted by the Honourable Minister, Federal Capital Territory that their Right of Occupancy to the land/property have been withdrawn, pursuant to the provisions of Section 28 of the Land Use Act of 1978 for contravention of the terms of grant which obligated the title/interest holders to settle all bills.”
