The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) says it will prosecute any developer caught developing illegal structures on waterways and green areas across the city.

Chief Felix Obuah, Coordinator, Abuja Metropolitan Management Council (AMMC), stated this during a joint inspection of parts of the city on Monday.

During the inspection, Obuah ordered the demolition of a box culvert, illegally constructed on a waterway with the intent to illegally acquire the green area for other purposes without approval.  (NAN)

He said that the structure was illegally constructed by an unidentified Chinese company on Park 293, Utako, by Shehu Yar’Adua Way.
