SaharaReporters earlier reported that Wike had been alleged to be notoriously taking over lands in several areas and reallocating them to his cronies, using “front companies” and rendering residents perplexed and homeless.
It was alleged that Saravera and Aleed Construction Limited are two of the front companies being used by the FCT minister, Wike and under the control of Kingsley Chinda and one Adapoyi Akor, to reallocate revoked lands to himself.
It was learnt that already, the Code of Conduct Bureau, CCB, is under pressure to investigate Chinda and Wike for land racketeering as calls have been going to President Bola Tinubu to probe the land matters.
“The Southern leaders council wants CCB to arrest Wike, Chinda over the leaked evidence of abuse of office, land racketeering and violation of the Code of Conduct Act. They are also demanding that President Tinubu should prosecute the duo and the House of Reps must suspend Chinda,” a source had revealed to SaharaReporters.
“This is a documentary evidence of how Wike revokes innocent people’s lands like late Colonel Ogbebor and reallocates to himself using front companies managed and owned by his confidant, Kingsley Chinda, a sitting House of Reps member in violation of the Code of Conduct law and one Adapoyi, his agent,” the source added.
