This signal became evident when officials from the Development Control Department of the FCTA, led by Director Muktar Galadima, thwarted an attempt by the owners of the revoked land in Maitama District to proceed with development on the sites, despite the existing revocation order.

In response to questions from reporters during the operation, Muktar Galadima, the Director of the Development Control Department, revealed that his office had received information that some owners of previously revoked land were returning to the sites, which, according to him, violated the revocation order.
