Wike Revokes 485 Abuja Land Titles Over Failed Authenticity Checks
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has approved the cancellation of 485 land titles in Abuja following a comprehensive review that uncovered widespread irregularities.
According to officials, the affected titles failed mandatory authenticity verification processes, with several documents reportedly found to be forged or improperly issued. The action forms part of an ongoing effort by the FCT Administration to sanitize land records and restore transparency to the territory’s property system.
Authorities stated that the review was aimed at strengthening land administration and curbing fraudulent activities that have long plagued Abuja’s real estate sector. The revocation, they noted, sends a strong message about compliance with due process and documentation standards.
The development has sparked reactions from property stakeholders, with some calling for further investigations and others urging affected individuals to seek clarification through appropriate channels.
Officials emphasized that the exercise is part of broader reforms intended to ensure credibility, accountability, and public confidence in land allocation and management within the Federal Capital Territory.
