Minister of the Federal Capital Territory FCT, Nyesom Wike, has recounted how officials of the Federal Capital Territory Authority, FCTA, issued him fake Certificate of Occupancy, C of O when he was governor of Rivers State.
Wike said some FCTA officials issued three fake C of Os on his plot of land after paying N57 million.
He disclosed this during a meeting with estate developers in Abuja on Tuesday.
The minister decried the rate at which fake C of Os were issued, adding that henceforth, N5 million would be paid to acquire a C of O.
According to Wike: “When I was governor of Rivers State, we had three C of Os from FCT. It turned out that all were fake.
“The C of O was coming from FCTA as a government, not as an individual. The plots allocated or said to be allocated, we paid money.

“When I now sent the Liaison Officer, the people from FCTA took him to the land and later, we discovered that it was fake land. Look at the money we had paid.
“The people disappeared. We could not find them again. Over N57 million that we paid. Why? Because that was how it was being done in the FCT. I have said that it will not work again.”
