The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has called on all property owners in the territory that have transactions with the Abuja Geographic Information Systems (AGIS) or the Land Administration Department of the FCTA to desist from patronising touts.
The FCTA Director of Land Administration, Adamu Jibrin Hussaini made this call in his office after appraising the work of staff interfacing with the public.
In a statement from the AGIS, Hussaini observed that touts had been surreptitiously positioning themselves claiming to be serving as intermediaries between the office and the public.
The director observed that the illegal activities of the touts were sending negative impression to the public and should immediately stop.
He advised the public to disregard any demand for money by anybody who claims to be an agent to facilitate any kind of transaction, including application for Power of Attorney, Legal Search, Deeds Assignment, Deed of Release and or Legal Mortgage.
He emphasised that processing of applications in AGIS does not attract any charge except the official processing fees stipulated by AGIS, and therefore, advised property owners and would-be property owners that have anything to with AGIS to be wary of activities of touts because they are impostors.
