FCT Indigenous Contractors Accuse Minister Wike of Using Police to Suppress Protest Over N5.2 Billion Unpaid Contracts The Association of Indigenous Contractors of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) has accused FCT Minister Nyesom Wike of deploying heavily armed security personnel to intimidate members protesting unpaid contract debts totaling over N5.2 billion. According to the association, contractors who executed certified projects were blocked from entering the FCTA office complex despite scheduled meetings, and some were verbally and physically threatened. The contractors claim the delay in payment has caused severe financial hardship, including loss of homes and inability to support families, while urging Nigerians, religious leaders, and civil society groups to condemn the alleged injustice. #FCTContractors #NyesomWike #UnpaidContracts

Wike Accused as Police Teargas Abuja Contractors Protesting ₦5.2bn Unpaid Debts Police officers allegedly acting on the orders of FCT Minister Nyesom Wike tear-gassed protesting contractors who barricaded his office over ₦5.2 billion in unpaid contract funds. The contractors say all projects—from drain clearing to medical procurement—were completed, inspected, verified, and approved, yet Wike refused to sign off on payments for nearly two years. The prolonged debt has allegedly caused deaths, medical trauma, loan defaults, and family breakdowns among contractors. Despite appeals to the Minister, the Presidency, and the National Assembly, the group claims nothing has changed. #Wike #FCTContractors #PoliceBrutality
