A former Head of State, Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida (IBB); the former Governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom; and the Senator representing Sokoto South, Aminu Tambuwal, have been prominently named among 53,140 individuals identified as alleged land title debtors in Abuja.
On 29 November 2024, the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) released this extensive list, firmly giving defaulters a two-week deadline to settle their outstanding payments for Certificates of Occupancy (C of O).
The document clearly indicates that Babangida owes N152 million for a plot of land situated in the prestigious Asokoro district of Abuja. …CONTINUE READING
Ortom was listed with an outstanding debt of N950,000 for land in Bazango, an area on the city’s outskirts, while Tambuwal owes N18 million for a plot in Carraway Dallas, located a few miles from Asokoro.
The FCTA cautioned that failure to meet the payment deadline could lead to the revocation of land titles. Payments are to be made via e-payment to the “FCT Department of Land Administration” account.
Additionally, several federal agencies, including the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU), the Nigerian Navy, and the Nigerian Police Force, were listed as debtors.
Other defaulters include the Lagos governor’s lodge in Asokoro, the Kaduna State Government, and the State House Abuja.
