The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has demolished more than 1,000 shacks and illegal structures obstructing a road corridor in Karsana, bordering the Bunkoro District of Gwarimpa.
Director of Development Control, Muktar Galadima, confirmed the exercise on Monday during a citywide sanitation operation by the FCTA joint task force. He said the demolition was part of ongoing efforts to reclaim road corridors and rid Abuja of illegal settlements.
Galadima explained that the targeted shanties had become a haven for squatters and “people of questionable character,” posing both security and environmental risks to the community.
The task force reiterated that similar operations will continue across the FCT until all illegal structures are cleared.
