Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Development Control Department yesterday demolished a property allegedly belonging to the former First Lady, Patience Jonathan. The building located inside A. Aruera – Reachout Foundation/Women For Change and Development Initiative, on Shehu Yar’Adua Way on Mabushi-Kado-Life Camp Expressway, Abuja.
A lawyer with E. A. Ezugwu and Associates, Mr Emmanuel Anene, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that the issue of the building was still pending before the Federal High Courts in Lagos and Abuja.
He said: “Sometime before, people from Development Control came to the site, alleging that there was no approval for the building. “We met them at their office and showed them the approval, which they accepted. We thought that the matter was over.
He said the building was not the only one affected by the demolition in the area as others were also demolished. Muktar alleged that members of staff of the Development Control Department were also assaulted on the premises.
