The City Management Team of the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has conducted the demolition of makeshift shelters located at the Bureau De Change (BDC) headquarters in Zone 4 of Abuja. The leader of the team, Mukhtar Galadima, who is the Director of the Department of Development Control, stated that these shanties were being used as hideouts for suspected criminals, posing a security threat in the city center. Galadima emphasized that the clearance operation aimed to restore the aesthetic appeal of the area and ensure the safety and security of residents. He clarified that the action was not a conflict with BDC operators but rather focused on maintaining order and safety.
