Demolition Notice: Ayefele Debunks Oyo Govt. Claim, Gets Court Paper Restraining Govt.

Dr. Yinka Ayefele, the Chairman/CEO of Yinka Ayefele Ltd, owners of Fresh FM 105.9, has reacted to a statement by Oyo State Government which said that the Music House, Challenge, Ibadan, where the radio station is located, was served a demolition notice because it contravenes state planning laws.


According to Ayefele, the building did not contravene any building law because it has the necessary approvals from relevant government agencies. The government’s statement, issued by the Commissioner for Information, Toye Arulogun, said that the submitted building approval for Music House was actually meant for an office complex and not a radio station, and so contravened 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. According to Arulogun, the submitted approval from Music House deviated from the approved plan which in effect 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.

The commissioner also stated that the government 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. But in a swift reaction on Wednesday night, Ayefele said blaming accidents on that road on Music House was mischievous. Below is the press statement by Ayefele, published exactly as issued: Our attention has been drawn to a purported press release signed by Mr. Toye Arulogun, Commissioner for Information and Culture, Oyo State where he said that the Music House Complex Contravenes Planning laws and is responsible for three fatal accidents that occurred on the road in the last nine months on which the government have received petitions.

We want to make it clear that Music House followed due process in the construction of the building and got relevant approvals from state departments and agencies associated with lands and buildings.

Saying that Music House Complex is responsible for three accidents that occurred on the road in the last nine months is just an attempt by the Commissioner to run away fromn his shadow. How can a reasonable person say that? It is not news that the Governor of the state himself said some politicians came to him to demolish the Music House Complex because Ayefele is not in their camp and he also sang against them.

We have the Governor on tape, so the Commissioner should look for another excuse. We know it is the Commissioner that is misinforming the Governor who we hold in a very high esteem. The Commissioner has tried in the past to influence a change in our programmes saying some of our analysts should be replaced. We want the general public to know that Music House has not in any way contravened any building plan law as the Commissioner has mischievously said.

Music House has been in existence for almost 10 years and we have all necessary documents backing the building from relevant government agencies. Some questions we need to ask the Commissioner are:

1. Why is the government collecting tenement rate from us when they know we contravened building plan law?

2. Why did the government approve the building plan when they know it will contravene the state housing law?

3. The Commissioner should tell us why the state is just realising that the Music House building is the cause of accident along this road. Perhaps it is also responsible for accidents on Ring road and other parts of the state.

4. If we actually contravened the building law, why did the Commissioner always send us press release for use on behalf of the government.

5. The Commissioner has featured on different programmes on our station and has commended us for our professionalism same with the Governor who heaped praises on us when he visited the station on October 6, 2016.

The Commissioner should look for another excuse and stop chasing shadows.

GREAT News of the day.

We are so happy to hear that. .
Let the music play on and on and on.......

ok nah

This man worked hard for this. That's why proper investigation is needed on matters like this. This looks a little personal. Except of course it might not be only Ayefele's structure that's going down. Whichever way, the judiciary is always available to take up matters that needs justice.

useless governments with their anti people policies

That's someone means of livelihood they want to demolish. It looks like personal grudge to me...

Kpele.

Meanwhile, his radio license has not been revoked.

He can as well start broadcasting again from his room.

That's Nigeria for you.

It will frustrate you till you die, still hoping to make it.

Shhhhhithole country

Brainless Mr Constituted Authority. You want to send Yinka to early grave abi?

Ajumobi should forgive Ayefele whatever offence he may have committed, why wanting to pull down his investment, for what?

Governor Ajumobi is obviously not of sound mind right now.

Wetin concern me concern Afonja matter.

Yoruba ajoka

See as u dey disgrace urself

Have you ever built a house before? You know the stress and all the hoops you have to jump through to have your building plan approved.

It baffles me when government puffs out their chest demolishing buildings that it approved the plan in the first place. Who does that That's very injurious to the law abiding citizens.

This is just the height of stupidity. If all those demolished buildings are not supposed to be there, it is solely the governments inability to enforce it's own law by approving the building plan in the first place.

In the real world, when government demolishes your property that they previously approved, they have to pay you adequate compensation. Not 1m for a 100m building and it is payable before the building is demolished and they give you some 30,60 or 90 days to move your properties.

U av offended the constituted authority again?

Demolition of the music house has political affairs. What I notice is that any radio or TV stations that doesn't dance to the political party in power is an enemy to the government. The government saying the radio station caused most of the accident in that area is just a fallacy. I don't think the commissioner knows the law. Imagine collecting Tax for over 5years now u want to demolish. Government that cannot provide job now want to demolish a station that's feeding more than 100 people just like that. That governor is "Ebot"

Commissioner get personal beefs for the guy ni.. Obviously

Yorubas hate themselves

When

You didn't design the building, u rented it.

Did the owner build it for radio stations to come and rent?

Point is, I am not disputing that the commissioner may be taking it personal, but believe me, there must be a fault to lean on
