The Federal Capital Territory Administration (UTC) on Saturday demolished the UTC Shopping Complex located at Area 10, in the Garki area of Abuja.
Shopowners said the Joint Task Force of the FCTA stormed the area in the early hours of Saturday, barring them from evacuating valuable items from their shops before the demolition began.
According to them, they hadn’t received any notice of the demolition, although they had been instructed to move to the other complex provided.
The UTC which have become a hub of printing in the Northern Nigeria and place of work for over 5,000 youths was demolished earlier today.
