The Senate on Thursday mandated an investigation into the recent demolitions in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), directing the establishment of an investigative committee to examine the issue.
The committee is tasked with inviting Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the FCT, to provide an explanation for the demolitions, which have reportedly displaced numerous residents in the nation’s capital.
The motion, sponsored by Senator Ireti Kingibe, who represents the FCT Senatorial District, raised concerns over what she described as the illegal demolition of structures in the area. She also called for an immediate halt to further demolitions pending the outcome of the investigation.
The Senate resolved that the committee would conduct a thorough inquiry into the demolitions and submit its findings within a specified timeframe.
