The popular Kilishi market in Area 1, Abuja was on Monday morning, demolished by the Nyesom Wike-led Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA).
The demolition was a sequel to a notice issued on Sunday by Muktar Galadima, the FCTA Director of Development Control, during a meeting with traders and owners of shops at the Area 1 shopping complex.
According to reports, the meeting was to reach an understanding with the traders and owners of shops in the area before the demolition was carried out.
Galadima stated that attachment shops, other illegal constructions, and parking lots have made the roads around the complex impassable.
Kilishi is a dried beef similar to jerky made from cow, sheep, or goat meat in Nigeria.
