Senate to probe Obasanjo,
Jonathan, El Rufai over Abuja land
grab, threatens to send those
found guilty to Kuje prison
The Senate Committee on Federal Capital
Territory has vowed to probe former Presidents
Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan as
well as former ministers of the FCT and now
governor of Kaduna state, El Rufai, over
allegations of Land grabbing during their tenures
in office.
Chairman, Senate Committee on Federal Capital
Territory, Senator Dino Melaye who spoke to
journalist in Abuja yesterday February 10th, said
the probe will not exempt any former Minister of
the FCT or President, adding that as a
government of change, it was prepared to send
any one found guilty to Kuje Prison.
Melaye alleged that former FCT ministers
allocated green areas designed for flood drains,
city buffers, recreations, urban farming, reserved
land and undevelopable areas to themselves
and their friends.
“With this administration of change, it is
no longer going to be business as usual.
Permit me to remind FCT administration
again by stating that this committee will
not hesitate to ensure that all
administrative anomalies,
misappropriation of funds or
misapplication of laws as the case may
be, occasioned by the past
administrations of FCT, are fully
addressed. This is what justice demands
in these circumstances; to right the
wrongs. Therefore, the committee is
worried and frowns on satanic and
misleading advice and recommendation
to convert very important and beautiful
natural endowments or features which
are very scanty like the world acclaimed
Maitama Hills, popularly known as
Ministers’ Hills, which could serve as a
tourist attraction to the residents of FCT.
I want to state here again that if the
bourgeois of this country need a special
allocation, a new district can be
dedicated to them and not destroy the
beauty of the city centre, a national
monument like the Maitama Hills.”he
