The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA), on Monday, began the demolition of illegal shops and other structures around the popular Area 1 Shopping Complex.
The demolition, which was carried out by the FCTA development control unit, was to give the area a new look.
According to the FCTA, the move was also to improve traffic flow within the busy area.
Traders were seen moving their goods as bulldozers pulled down the shops.
Here are pictures from the demolition exercise.
