Senate Launches Probe Into FCT Demolitions, Summons Wike for Explanation

The Senate has taken a bold step to address the widespread outcry over demolitions in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) by ordering an investigation and summoning FCT Minister Nyesom Wike for a full explanation.

This decision follows a passionate motion by Senator Ireti Kingibe of the FCT Senatorial District, who condemned the ongoing demolitions as illegal and devastating to residents.

She urged an immediate halt to the destruction of properties, citing the humanitarian toll on displaced individuals and families.

In response, the Senate resolved to establish an investigative committee tasked with uncovering the motives and legality behind the demolitions.

The committee is expected to submit its findings within a set timeframe, ensuring swift action.

โ€œThis is not just about buildings; itโ€™s about lives disrupted and communities destroyed. We demand answers and accountability,โ€ Senator Kingibe declared on the Senate floor.

The spotlight is now on Minister Wike, who must justify the actions that have sparked outrage among FCT residents.
