Nyesom Wike, the minister of the Federal Capital Territory, has stated that he is prepared to take on any cartels involved in land racketeering in Abuja.
According to Anaedoonline.ng, Wike revealed this on Friday when speaking to a group of media and recalling the erroneous distribution of lands to multiple organisations within the federal capital.
The former governor of Rivers State declared that employees of the Federal Capital Territory Authority (FCTA) would request that individuals impacted file lawsuits by the end of next week due to fictitious allocations.

The Minister promised to destroy the cartels in the Federal Capital Territory that profit from land theft.
He said, “FCTA allocated land of over 300 hectares to a company in 2001, revoked it in 2022 and reallocated it to another company in 2005; they revoked it and reallocated it to the initial company without notice. In 2009, they revoked it and reallocated it to another company again.
“By next week, our legal team and external solicitors have arranged to defend FCTA on our land matters, what happens here is that even the leader of the secretariat will tell you to sue; they will sue without defending it, they won’t go to court. It’s business, it’s racketeering, and you will see judgments against FCT. This led to me demanding the files, but we are going to do it in a way that will help us.
“There is a cartel, and to bust it, you must be very prepared, and for me, I’m prepared and will face it.”
