FCTA taskforce clears shanties, recovers dangerous weapons, impounds 20 vehicles.

The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has conducted a clearance operation in Wuse Zone 3, Abuja. 

The operation, which was led by the Director of Department of Development Control, Muktar Galadima, was aimed at ridding the area of shanties, illegal structures, and criminal elements.

During the exercise, Galadima confirmed that the task force recovered several dangerous weapons, including machetes, and impounded about 20 vehicles, noting that some of the impounded vehicles were linked to "one-chance" operations and their owners will be required to pay heavy fines to retrieve them.

He revealed that the area was considered a security threat due to the presence of shanties and illegal activities, adding that a mop-up exercise has been scheduled for today, and property owners have been advised to develop their land in line with the FCT Minister's directive to avoid revocation, stressing that the FCTA aims to enhance public safety and tackle insecurity in the nation's capital.
