Chief Ukachukwu claimed that his property was not demolished because he violated any law, but because it was owned by an Igbo man.
The Anambra-born businessman said that despite two court orders from separate courts restraining the Minister and the FCT administration from demolishing the property, the property was demolished without any court order. He accused Wike of ordering the demolition.
He had said, “Wike called for a meeting over the land, we went with our documents after seeing what we had with our lawyer and other company, Sunrise, which they gave part of that land. Wike said that there is nothing on this that the court should take its effect.
“After going around the land, Wike started shouting, ‘How will they take all this land and give to an Igbo man?’ Then, the next thing we saw was the demolition of the buildings without a court order.”
According to the recent report by Daily Trust, Wike revealed that the land that was allocated to Ukachukwu did not have the approval of any minister before him.
He said that land-grabbing in Abuja is rampant because the people in the land department of his ministry are corrupt.
Reacting to Ukachukwu’s claim he said, “This land, by this so-called ethnic jingoist, talked about was allocated when there was no minister. The minister left on May 29, 2023. By June, the land was allocated by the director of lands.
“We all met and agreed that nobody should do anything on the land until we are able to take a final decision. You know what happened? These guys thought they were too smart and they started selling the land.” CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
