Senate to probe building demolitions in Abuja

The Senate has resolved to probe the recent demolitions in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), setting up an investigative committee to look into the matter.

This resolution was made after the Senator representing FCT, Sen. Ireti Kingibe moved a motion calling the attention of the Senate to the matter.

In the motion, Kingibe expressed concern over the illegal demolition of structures in the nation’s capital and called for an immediate stop to further demolitions.

The Senate resolved to set up an investigative committee to look into the demolitions and report back to it within a specified timeframe.

The committee will also invite the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike to explain the reasons behind the demolitions, which have left many residents without homes.
