Nigerian Army Orders Tungamaje Residents to Vacate Homes Amid Land Dispute
Residents of Tungamaje, Abuja, have been ordered by the Nigerian Army to vacate their homes by Wednesday, August 12, 2026, due to a land dispute. The Army has marked several houses for demolition, causing panic among residents who are uncertain about relocation options. This directive follows a long-standing conflict between the residents and Army personnel over land ownership and access to farmlands. Residents allege that some Army personnel have turned the area into personal property, evicting original landowners and renting out the lands. Despite appeals for intervention, the situation remains unresolved, leaving many locals, who rely on farming, devastated and stranded.
