He wrote, “I am heartbroken & angry. Yesterday, my N150 million investment in a poultry farm located in Lokogoma, Abuja, was DESTROYED by the guys from the Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA).
“NO WARNING, no prior notice, just pure destruction and over 5,000 birds are dead.
“How can this happen in a country where I followed every legal process? Let it be clear that all papers, including the (C of O), were obtained and yet, some individuals in this government felt it was okay to destroy what I’ve worked for—an investment of a lifetime.

“This isn’t just my loss – over 50 workers are now thrown out of jobs and business! In this hard times, Families will now suffer because of the EVIL of some individuals operating under the guise of FCDA. Tell me why I can’t farm on my private property? Why? Why?
“I ask—where does the government expect me to start from? Why should I ever think of investing in Nigeria again when this can happen overnight? This is how people fall into depression. But for God, I don’t know how I and my family would even be standing right now.
“I hope FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike is seeing the damage being done under his administration. I hope Madam First Lady who asked us to start farming can see the rubbish going on. I hope no one will accuse me of treason when I carry placards because this is TREASON against me.”
