This is contained in a statement by the KASUPDA Spokesperson, Mr. Nuhu Garba in Kaduna.
The authority said the demolition followed the expiration of notices issued to the affected owners of the structures.
”The demolition in Barnawa low cost was due to a change in title and road encroachment.
”The structure located at plot No. 44, Uganda Street Barnawa, Low-cost was removed due to lack of approval and change in title,” Garba said.
The authority also said that dilapidated and abandoned structures were removed due to security threats on Uganda street, Barnawa.
