BREAKING: FCT Minister Nyesom Annuls 485 Land Papers Again in Bwari, AMAC, Kuje

FCT Minister Nyesom Wike has nullified 485 area council land documents in Abuja after they failed official verification processes and were confirmed to be fake. The decision, conveyed through a public notice by the FCTA’s Departments of Land Administration and Abuja Geographic Information Systems (AGIS), affects layouts across Bwari (Ushafa Village Expansion, Dawaki Extension), AMAC (Kurudu-Jikwoyi, Karu Village, Nyanya Phase IV, Jikwoyi, Sabon Lugbe, Lugbe I Extension), and Kuje (Kuchiyako One). The notice stated the minister approved cancellation of applications that “failed the necessary official checks for genuineness and have been confirmed to be fake.” The nullified applications will be expunged from the regularisation database. The action addresses long-standing issues of forged land titles, double allocations, and syndicated fraud in the FCT.

Key Points:

The nullification protects genuine landowners and prevents fraudulent transactions.
It cracks down on land fraud syndicates operating in the FCT.
Legitimate applicants gain clarity, while fraudsters face consequences.
This signals the government’s determination to sanitise land administration.
The timing, with names and files published, ensures transparency.

Wike nullifies 485 fake Abuja land documents across Bwari, AMAC, Kuje after verification exposes forgery, expunging them from FCTA database.
