Jikwoyi Hotel Collapse: Wike Orders Developer’s Arrest and Seizes Site for Public Use
FCT Minister Nyesom Wike visited the Jikwoyi site where a multi-story hotel collapsed last Friday. He ordered the immediate arrest of the building owner and directed the seizure of the plot. The minister noted the structure lacked approval from the FCT Department of Development Control. He said stop-work notices were ignored, leading to the collapse. While no lives were lost, several people were injured and taken to hospital. Wike announced that the reclaimed land would be converted for public use after community consultation. He warned developers to secure proper approvals and adhere to building standards. He also urged agencies to step up enforcement and demolish any unauthorized structures to protect lives and property.
