Residents of FESTAC Town in Lagos State are threatening to protest the Federal Housing Authority (FHA) headquarters in Abuja over the alleged demolition of a perimeter fence protecting a public reserve. The area houses power infrastructure and is served by a public reserve. The fence, gateway, and other installations around the area were removed by FHA officials accompanied by armed policemen, according to the residents.
The removal has raised concerns about extortion and the sale or allocation of public utility spaces. The residents, through the Bring Back FESTAC platform, plan to stage a peaceful protest at the FHA headquarters in Abuja. However, FHA has dismissed the claims, stating that the demolition was carried out because the development contravened regulations.
