Abuja estate residents allege police harassment over green area dispute
A civil society group, the Civil Society Alliance for Transparency and Development (CSATD), has appealed for intervention in the alleged harassment of residents at Shell CoopEast Garden Estate in Abuja.
The group explained the homeowners bought properties with the understanding the green space would be part of the estate. However, the group alleged the developer wants to sell it for development, breaking the original agreement.

In December 2023, residents filed a lawsuit (FCT/HC/CV/522/23) to fight the developer’s actions.
CSATD expressed concerns that using police to harass residents undermines the legal process.
A statement by CSATD convener Ambassador Mohammed Basah called on the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, the FCDA and the Inspector General of Police to intervene.
It urged the authorities to uphold the rule of law, protect residents’ rights, investigate the police involvement and prevent its misuse in civil matters.
“CSATD stands with Shell CoopEast Garden Estate residents in their fight for justice,” Ambassador Basah said. “We urge all relevant authorities to ensure the rule of law is respected and that residents can live peacefully.”
