DAILY POST reported earlier that the demolition of the N1 billion five-storey building began around 3:00 am on Sunday.It was gathered that the state government approved the demolition of the building due to absence of parking space and muster point, and inadequate airspace.
The lawyer said, “We were shocked and miffed that the Ogun State government ignored court papers served on its agents on Thursday, September 7, asking them to stop all actions on the building.” A quit notice was served on the building on August 31 by the government, “asking the owner to vacate the premises within three days”.
“However, we were shocked and astonished that the Ogun State government ignored the ongoing legal process and went ahead to demolish the complex in the early hours of Sunday. We want to believe the State Attorney General’s advice was ignored on this matter,” the statement said.
