The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) on Monday dismantled a cluster of illegal structures and cleared traders from the UTC area in Abuja’s Area 10, in a renewed push to sanitize public spaces and curb criminal activity in the capital.
The operation, led by the FCTA’s City Sanitation Task Force, was ordered by the Federal Capital Territory Security Committee, according to Mukhtar Galadima, the Director of Development Control, who supervised the exercise.
“This is about enforcing order and eliminating criminal hideouts,” Mr. Galadima said, standing near the site where heaps of refuse had been left to rot.
