A Nigerian investor, Akomolafe Heinrich Bankole has lamented how the Federal Capital Territory Administration under the FCT Minister, Nyesome Wike demolished his N150m worth of poultry farm investment in Lokogoma Abuja.
The businessman expressed his displeasure in a statement through his X account on Sunday.
He noted that the demolition comes without prior notice.
Bankole said the land where the investment was cited has all original documents, including C of O.
He stressed that over 5000 birds on the farm died during the demolition.
"I am heartbroken & angry. Yesterday (Saturday), my N150 million investment in a poultry farm located in Lokogoma, Abuja, was DESTROYED by the guys from the Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA).
"NO WARNING, no prior notice, just pure destruction and over 5,000 birds are dead", he said.
"How can this happen in a country where I followed every legal process? Let it be clear that all papers, including the (C of O), were obtained and yet, some individuals in this government felt it was okay to destroy what I've worked for- an investment of a lifetime", he added.
According to him, the demolition has rendered over 50 workers jobless.
"This isn't just my loss - over 50 workers are now thrown out of jobs and businesses! In these hard times, Families will now suffer because of the EVIL of some individuals operating under the guise of FCDA.
"Tell me why I can't farm on my private property. Why? Why", he lamented.
Meanwhile, FCDA is yet to react as of the time of filing the report.
This comes despite the economic hardship Nigerians grapple with in the face of the recent Premium Motor Spirit (petrol) pump price hike to N897 and N855 from N617.
