The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has demolished over 30 houses, which it described as illegal at Trademore Estate, Lugbe, in an attempt to prevent incessant flooding in the area.
The Senior Special Assistant on Monitoring, Inspection and Enforcement to FCT Minister, Mr Ikharo Attah, who led the operation under the auspices of the FCT Ministerial Taskforce Team, disclosed that over 100 illegal houses would be affected.
According to him, no compensation would be given because there was no building approval.
“This is an ongoing removal of illegal structures on the flood plain at the Trademore Estate, Lugbe, along Airport Road. This estate has been a theatre of flooding, very intensive flooding here and we have been engaging them for years,” Attah was quoted by NAN as saying on Thursday.
