Breaking: Deji, Verydarkman, others protest over demolition of houses in Abuja

The residents of Ruga, a settlement along Airport Road, Abuja, took to the streets on Friday to protest the demolition of their homes by Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister Nyesom Wike.

Wike had ordered a task force, “Operation Sweep,” to demolish Ruga and other communities within the nation’s capital to clear the city of perceived nuisances and criminal activities.

Leading the demonstration, renowned lawyer and activist Deji Adeyanju, along with Vincent Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, called on president Tinubu to direct a reversal of the action.

According to the duo, the ongoing demolition will increase insecurity issues in the FCT.
