KADGIS warns public against unauthorised land sales in six Kaduna police barracks
The Kaduna Geographic Information Service (KADGIS) has issued a warning to the public regarding the purchase of plots of land in six police barracks across Kaduna State. The agency stated that it has not authorized any land layout or sale by Aftech Industries Limited in these locations.
In a public notice dated October 21, 2026, and signed by KADGIS Director-General Bashir Garba Ibrahim, the agency emphasized that it has neither approved nor permitted the company to create, design, subdivide, or develop any land layout within the affected barracks. The barracks listed in the notice include Gabasawa Barracks (Blocks A and B), Mounted Troops Barracks, SPO’s Quarters along College Road, Mounted Troops Barracks in Kabala, and MTD Barracks in Sabon-Gari.
KADGIS clarified that it has not entered into any partnership with Aftech Industries Limited and has not granted the company permission to allocate or sell plots in the specified areas. The agency reiterated that any claims of partnership or land sales should not be interpreted as having its approval.
The notice advised the public against purchasing or making payments for plots within the affected police barracks without first verifying the legal status of the property and the validity of the title with KADGIS. The agency cautioned that documents such as letters, agreements, or receipts associated with these transactions do not, by themselves, confirm a valid land title or KADGIS approval.
Individuals who proceed to purchase land without proper verification will do so at their own risk, according to KADGIS. The agency stated it would not be held liable for any losses, disputes, or claims that arise from such transactions. KADGIS urged the public to exercise due diligence and verify all land titles before entering into any land purchase agreements.
