Borno Geographic Information Service (BOGIS) has demolished a supermarket built illegally on utility area and drainage along Abba Ashigar/Bama road, new GRA Maiduguri, the state capital.

The agency also arrested the suspect and confiscated over fifteen big sizes of refrigerators constructed purposely for the selling of ice blocks and pure water within the same premises which were illegally powered from government street lights.
The Executive Secretary of BOGIS, Engineer Adam Bukar Bababe, stated this on Tuesday while addressing the journalists at the premises of the illegal structures alongside BOGIS Task Force.
Engr. Babe said,” through intelligence our attention was drawn to an illegality along Abba Ashigar /Bama Road at the new GRA, where further investigation revealed that the owner of the business premises , one Mr. Dabs connected his business premises completely with armoured cables from public street light installed by the state government”.

The intercepted refrigerators were illegally connected to public street lights thereby causing severe damage to the transformer

” He was arrested and now in the custody of the NSCDC Borno State Command while further investigation on his business activities and illegality on how and why he vandalized government property or source of street light and illegally connected to his business and even the entire house, thereby causing severe damages to public transformers”.
“He is also being investigated in connection with his refusal to comply with an earlier warning and directive for him to remove illegal structures that he erected along the street and on utility area of the road since January 2022 which he failed to comply with earlier notice and warning of BOGIS.


“Similarly, he is being charged for further erecting a permanent structure on the same government reservation area meant for public use”. He said.

The Executive Secretary, however, warmed the public to desist from such illegal act, adding that the agency will not rest until it bring to book the perpetrators and violators of such acts in the state.

“All issues or allegations definitely will be treated based on the law of the land. Nobody is above the law and the laws must be complied as both BOGIS and UPB are on their toes to fish out the violators in all the nooks and crannies of the state.
