The Federal Capital Territory Administration has warned owners of event centres, hotels and other public buildings in Abuja against permitting illegal organisations to use their facilities, saying violators risk losing their property titles.

The warning was contained in a statement issued on Friday by the Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media to the FCT Minister, Lere Olayinka.

According to the statement, land allocations within the Federal Capital Territory are strictly for lawful purposes, adding that sanctions would be imposed on defaulters.

The administration stated that “going forward, title documents of any event centre, hotel or public building that is used for the gathering of illegal organisations will be revoked.”

The statement explained that the directive formed part of measures aimed at strengthening security and supporting efforts to maintain peace and order in the nation’s capital.
