VIDEO: Poultry farmer cries out as FCDA demolishes N150m farm in Abuja

Akomolafe Bankole, a poultry farmer, has expressed outrage and heartbreak after officials from the Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA) demolished his N150 million poultry farm in Lokogoma, Abuja, without prior notice or warning.

In a series of emotional posts on his X account, Bankole shared videos of the destruction, revealing that over 5,000 birds died and 50 workers lost their jobs as a result of the demolition.

He emphasized that all necessary papers, including the Certificate of Occupancy, were obtained before establishing the farm, making the demolition a shocking and unjust act.

Bankole questioned the government’s actions, asking why he couldn’t farm on his private property despite following every legal process. He lamented the impact on his workers and their families, who will now suffer due to the actions of some individuals operating under the guise of FCDA.
