Land Row: FCTA dismisses AEDC’s invasion claims, threatens legal action
The FCTA Department of Development Control, in a statement by its Acting Director, Bashir Madaki Sunusi, said the AEDC’s public announcement of July 10, 2026, falsely accused an Assistant Director of the Department, Mr Chinedu Okoro, of leading land grabbers to invade the substation.
The Department condemned the AEDC’s public announcement as a cheap, calculated attempt to tarnish the reputation of its staff, and declared that the Department would not be deterred from executing its statutory responsibility of enforcing orderly development and protecting citizens’ access to land in the FCT.
According to the statement, the Department’s actions on Wednesday, July 8, 2026, were purely statutory, transparent and professional, following a formal complaint from a lawful allottee holding a valid Certificate of Occupancy (C of O) duly signed by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory FCT.
