FCT Demolition: Wike’s Aide Claims Babangida, Samuel Ortom Received Government Allocations But Didn’t Pay For Lands

During an appearance on Arise TV on Friday, Olayinka addressed recent developments, warning that individuals who fail to regularize their land allocations in the capital city risk losing their properties. He emphasized that no defaulters would be exempt from this process.

Olayinka revealed that 9,532 people are indebted to the government for not regularizing their land allocations within the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

He specifically mentioned that former President Ibrahim Babangida and former Benue Governor Samuel Ortom are among those who have received land allocations but have not paid for them.

He explained, “A few days ago, newspapers published advertisements listing those who owe the government for land allocations. There are 9,532 individuals who have been allocated land but have not paid, and their names were published.

“Among those listed are former President Ibrahim Babangida and former Governor Samuel Ortom, who is a close friend and political ally of the FCT Minister. Ortom’s name was also published.

“The Minister has made it clear that his actions will be based on doing what is right, not personal relationships. He stated that if you genuinely own land, even if you are his enemy, there will be no problem. However, if you do not have legitimate ownership, regardless of who you are, including friends or family, you will lose the land.

“I reiterate: those whose names have been published as part of the 9,532 individuals should take the necessary steps to regularize their land. If the government decides to revoke their allocations, that’s when they’ll turn to TV stations and social media, seeking support from activists to speak on their behalf.”
