The Oyo State Government on Wednesday explained that the demolition notice given to the Music House, which houses Fresh FM, Ibadan, a private radio station owned by a popular Juju musician, Mr. Yinka Ayefele was not based on sentiment or witch-hunting.

The station, through its Director of Corporate Affairs and Promotions, Mr. David Ajiboye, had yesterday raised an alarm that the owner of the building which houses the radio station has been given a three-day notice to vacate the building and remove the structure or risk its removal by the government.

But, the government while insisting that such contravention notices have been given and served to different organizations in the state since June 14, 2017 including all radio stations in the state, added that the decision to demand for approval plan was not peculiar to the radio station.

Commissioner for Information, Culture and Tourism, Mr. Toye Arulogun in a statement mailed to DAILY POST Wednesday evening said that the state government observed that property owners in the state were deviating from the originally approved building plans without seeking physical planning approvals from the Oyo State Bureau of Physical Planning and Development Control.

Arulogun stated that “the decision of the state government to demand for the building approved plan was not peculiar to Music House, Fresh Fm as several companies and institutiuons such as University of Ibadan, Kola Daisi University, University College Hospital, banks and radio stations in the state were asked to provide their Planning approval.”

He added that the government recently demolished several banks ATM extension and some local government structures in the state.

He said that “the letter to Fresh FM was received by one Bamiduro Aderonke and a reminder letter dated 18thAugust 2017 was sent to the radio station to again request for the planning approval/permit for the Radio Station in line with the Oyo State Physical and Development Control laws in which the radio station was expected to forward the approved Building plan to the Bureau within seven days, noting that a copy of the letter was received by Adebisi Akinfunmi on the 21st of August 2017”.

Arulogun said that “the submitted building approval was actually meant for an office complex and not a radio station, thereby contravening the Oyo State Physical Planning and Development Control laws, sections 30, 31 and 32 of the Oyo State Physical Planning and Urban Development Law of 2012.”

He stated that the submitted approval from Music House deviated from the approved plan, which makes the approval null and void because deceitful information was given to the approving authority and also deviation from the approval granted both in construction and use”.

He added that “a physical inspection was carried out on the 25th of June 2018 to ascertain the extent of the deviation from the approval where it was discovered that apart from the change in use of the building, spatial standards in terms of setback, airspace and parking spaces were found to be grossly inadequate”.

He maintained that “a letter was sent to the station on 29th of June, 2018 to submit a fresh building plan application that will reflect the existing structures on site, noting that the radio house deliberately ignored the letter as there was no response from their end till date”.

He however said that “the deviant posture of the radio station prompted the Bureau to serve a three day Demolition Notice on the 13th August 2018 which expired on the 15th August 2018”.

Arulogun said that “the government had also received petitions subsequent upon three fatal accidents that occurred around Music house in the last nine months, as the petitioners urged the government to look at the physical structure of the organization in relation to the dual carriage way which lends itself easily to accidents”.

He emphasised that “the government will do the needful and follow due process in accordance with the laws of the land but will not dignify or elevate the tantrums of Music House, Fresh FM”.

Nigerians like using Psychological blackmail, whenever they are wrong.
Let fresh FM show copies of their original approval, and if they are found wanting, they should be punished.

We want Change, but we are not ready to Change.

You have a good point here, to show little mercy is all we plead for here.

Just three day to VACATE, most leaders are evil.

The government actions have added to his lyrics

If he breaks the law, no comment..

But, Ajimobi... e no better 4 you ooo.

Awon olotiburuku.They can't create kind but they can simply demolish in3days.

we always blame government for doing right things in Nigeria.... I wish Oyo state government can do this building plan stuff throughout Ibadan especially those new site.

A lot of people will be jobless with that, after all the government can't provide job for people. this ajumobi govt is worst of APC Governor so far. useless man. Seyi Makinde is warming up to take over from you, useless government. see that one say it's approved for office complex, radio house and office complex, which one is better, set of illiterate setback ward people

This is the reason they are demolishing the building...

If I build two bedroom apartment and I decided to use one of the room for my business means that I have deviate from the original purpose of building the house and the house will be demolish according to Oyo State Government.

Na wa ooooooo!

Na so we dey do..... we keep waking sympathy from the masses, begging to pity.. attributing our negligence of obeying simple law of the land to stating that lot of people will be out of job. Why was it difficult for Fresh FM to provide New building plan for approval? The OYO government has tried enough to give them that second chance and they mess it up. They are not above the law and no amount of public sympathy can safe them. they should do the needful or risk demolition.

Both of you are just being hypocritical. Let's assume without conceeding that they deviated from the plan, does that then justify giving them a notice of just three days to remove the structure?

Ajimobi, be warned, freshfm is a ball of fire which could burn right through your bones. You might not get out of this one unscathed as lucky as you were with splash fm.
If you did well, people would praise you and vice versa.

I knew there was more to it, giving someone just three days to remove a building or relocate a radio station is just sheer wickedness

Yes! Masses are cheating the government..... Land use charge for business and residential are different. Process of their plans and designs approval are also different. That is the bitter truth. Many buildings are guilty of this, from North to South to East and it doesn't mean it is right. This is Nigeria

We know it is politically motivated. Witch hunting is synonymous with this government. Very useless and wicked government. They can demolish in three days but can not build in four years

Notice and request for new plan has been served more than a year ago... serious minded organisations that is ready to obey simple law would have started the process of getting new plan from the government. They deliberately ignored and now, they are whipping up public sympathy. they are wrong!

So even if they broke the law, it is now right for the government to give them just three days notice before coming to demolish abi?
