Edo Governor Demolishes APC Chieftain's N800 Million Shopping Complex- Naij.com by Nobody: 3:55am On May 28, 2017 |
Edo Government on Thursday
commenced the demolition of buildings
with unapproved plans with the
demolition of a shopping complex in
Benin worth about N800 million.
According to the government, the
complex housing 218 lock-up shops was
constructed in contravention of the
approval plans issued by the
government.
Gov. Godwin Obaseki, recently warned
that as part of its urban renewal plan,
illegal structures and buildings with
unapproved government plan would be
demolished.
In line with plan, the government
relocated all motor parks from the city
centre (Ring Road) a forthnight ago.
The government also commenced
removal of illegal structures within the
precinct of the city centre.
The shopping complex, owned by Chief
Osamede Adun, a chieftain of the ruling
party, All Progressives Congress is
located on Mission road.
Adun is a popular transporter and
politician who was special adviser on
Protection of Government Property to
former Gov. Lucky Igbinedion.
Adun described the action of the
governor as “executive rascality and
victimisation.’’
He alleged that he had all the necessary
documents from the government that
granted approval for the construction of
the shopping mall.
“I do not want to engage the government
in any fight; I have government approval
for the building.
“I wonder why the same government will
now turn around to demolish the
building it granted approval.
“I spent over N800 million on the
building; all I want is for the right thing
to be done,” he added.
When contacted for his reaction, the
Chief Press Secretary (Interim), to the
governor, Mr John Mayaki, expressed
the commitment of the government to
enforce physical and town planning
laws in the state.
He said: “On the building demolished
along mission road which had about 150
shops, the structure for which the owner
sought the government approval was at
variance with what was erected.
“In other words, the structure which
was built was in contravention of what
was approved.
“Before the demolition, notices were
served, which have since expired.
“As you may be aware, nobody is above
the law, neither is anyone’s interest
bigger than that of the public.
“No parking space was provided for
owners of would be shops at the
property; there was no parking space for
those who would go there to shop.”
NAIJ.com reports that Edo state
governor, Godwin Obaseki reportedly
ordered the sack of Mr Braimah Gabriel
Ohioma, a staff of Michael Imoudu
College of Physical Education, Afuze.
Ohioma was allegedly sacked for
testifying at the Edo state Governorship
Election Petitions Tribunal at Benin
City.
