Minister of the Federal Capital
Territory (FCT) Sen. Bala Mohammed has released the identity of the owner of
the uncompleted building in which no fewer than nine tricycle operators were
killed last week.
Mohammed, after a presentation to
the House Committee on Public Safety yesterday, said: “The owner of the
building is a civilian (Adunni Oluwola Salisu ) who was given the place in 2007 and got development
control approval in 2009. The building is going on and, of course, there were
some abuses in terms of allowing unauthorised people to be in the building.
“The house raised the issue of the
prevalence of uncompleted building that are constituting a security risk in the
FCT and we told them what we did last year, about the census we took. We have
435 uncompleted buildings that are categorised and we will enforce our
regulations and ensure that they are not used as residents or places where
illegal activities are carried out.”
The chairman of the committee, Hon.
Bello Matawalle, assured journalists that justice would prevail at the end of
their investigation.
