The most expensive house in Abuja is situated at Gana street, Maitama, Abuja. The billion-naira mansion is the most exquisite private property in Abuja. The house is owned by Abubakar Aliyu of AA oil. The land on which the property is built is estimated at a billion naira.
The house was built in 2005 and the plans of it appears like it was that of a museum. However, it became a surprise to residents of Abuja city when it was developed into a monolith. The house was locked down by the EFCC in February as the owner was rumoured to be under investigation.
The owner, Abubakar Aliyu hails from Adamawa and is the CEO of A.A oil, a popular oil and gas company in northern Nigeria. This property is one of the evidences that there is money in Nigeria for those who know how to get it.
The house is quite an object of gossip in the town even though some believe the land is to small for such mansion and claim it should have been built on a large expanse of land to properly show its layout so that it can be more appreciated.
But who are we to tell a rich man how he spends his money or builds his house.
