Following the reported stone throw attack made on a train while on test-run some weeks ago close to Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has commenced the demolition of about 2, 400 shanties in Kukwuaba- Wuye District along the railway corridor leading to the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.
The Director, Department of Development Control, Mukhtar Galadima who coordinated the exercise which saw the removal of over 1, 000 shacks said it was to checkmate security challenges posed by threats of Boko Haram and bandits.
Also speaking, the Chairman of the FCT Task Force on Sanitation, Ikharo Attah, said the Ruga settlement which had continued to bust at its seam had become notorious for rape and other crimes.
