Letters of land allocation are being issued to members of the public illegally by some civil servants in the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA), it was learnt at the weekend.

Acting Coordinator, Abuja Metropolitan Management Council (AMMC), Abdulhamid Sulaiman, who briefed reporters in his office warned the civil servants to desist or face prosecution.

“The FCT Administration is aware that some unscrupulous elements, in connivance with some officials, are reportedly issuing letters of allocation in this respect.

“And anybody caught dealing on these illegal allocations will not only be dealt with in the Civil Service way but will also be prosecuted.”

He warned the general public to beware of such criminal activities and to always ensure they get any land allocation through the right channels.
