Residents of Odo Ogbe in Onike Yaba, Lagos, were thrown into confusion, yesterday, following demolition of their buildings, allegedly by the Lagos State Building Control Agency (LASBCA), less than 24 hours after officials had marked the houses.

Agency’s spokesperson: I’m not aware, will investigate

Residents of Odo Ogbe in Onike Yaba, Lagos, were thrown into confusion, yesterday, following demolition of their buildings, allegedly by the Lagos State Building Control Agency (LASBCA), less than 24 hours after officials had marked the houses.

The residents, who werseen outside the torn down structures, called on the Lagos State government to investigate the matter and prosecute the officials involved.

The Guardian noted that the buildings were marked on December 7, 2023, at about 5:30 p.m., and demolished the following day, at about 2:05 p.m. While rooms in some buildings were spared, all the rooms in a building belonging to 85-year-old architect, Sunday Kukoyi, were pulled down.

It was gathered that LASBCA official stormed the area, accompanied by officers of the Lagos State police task force and anti-riot police officers. Adesegun, son of the 85-year-old architect, told The Guardian: “I was at work, when I got a call from my younger brother about the presence of LASBCA officials. Upon getting home, I met the officials, at around 5:30 p.m., marking the buildings.


“The next day, they stormed the area with the police task force while I was sleeping. The officials banged on our door and forced it open. As they were demolishing, we rushed to get some of our belongings. The television and laptops were destroyed.”

He added: “Everything went down within two hours. It was two hours of trauma, mental stress and panic. They came here for illegal operations, rushing to bring down the buildings, and then left in haste. They left after more people came out to question the reason for their action. They didn’t give any reason; we were not served or given time.”

Tony Fasanmi, another resident, whose house was also demolished, said: “I wasn’t around when my building was marked. On my way home, I saw the officials at the junction and wondered why they were in my area. The following day, they came to demolish the building with a team of anti-riot policemen. We have been thrown out of our homes. We need government’s intervention.

When The Guardian reached out to LASBCA’s Public Relations Officer, Olaoye Olusegun, he said: “I am not aware of the demolition. I will investigate the action.”

Keep on supporting injustice in the name supporting your tribe forgetting that injustice to one is injustice to all.
Last last everybody will chop breakfast

demolish anything that was fraudulently acquired and built on....!!

The situation of the country calls for caution before any major Government action. The cost of living has skyrocketed. Most families can barely afford three square meal. This is one of the reasons why suicide is on the increase. Many people are living in depression. The people need to be encouraged and not pushed into more suffering. Though, no supporter of Tinubu deserves any sympathy. He who chooses darkness in place of light deserves to continue in the noonday. No offense, they deserve the worse. If like Nebuchadnezzar, they can acknowledge that evil is bad and plead for mercy, then they will be able to appreciate light.

Ok

This is not the first time a Yoruba person house would be demolished. Back in 2022 👇

Onike Yaba is a place where old Yoruba money dey. It's is surrounded by fellow ghetto pigstys like

Onipanu
Stadium
Onireke
Palmgrove

Etc etc etc...

The issue is that after destroying the properties of IGBO landlords the foolz are demolishing buildings of their brothers to cover their actions.

All these areas are not on any worthless canal or drainage as they normally claim.

If you want to be truthful, all buildings in Lekki and Eko Atlantic should be demolished, because those are green zones, that are natural reservation's. No building should be there. Even

Parkview

Are built in canals....

You pigs are eorthless

We aren't moved...and we shall NEVER forget...

We dey wait una for Junction...e sure DIE.

Worthless pigs..

If you have built a house before you will know you need to Yoruba or Igbo to feel the pain of house demolition. I don't think I need to explain to someone who has not used his sweat to buy a ton of iron rod, granite and cement before how painful it is see house demolition and it is only a bas.tard like your family that will abuse other people's fathers
