Video: Tears as Lagos demolishes 13 buildings at Ajao estate
By Biodun Busari
Residents have lamented as Lagos State Government demolished no fewer than 13 residential buildings at the Ajao Estate area of the state.

The demolition which began on Friday has been blamed by the state authorities as illegal occupation, construction along pipeline and cited in close proximity to the Murtala International Airport, Lagos.

A viral video showed the demolition of the buildings carried out as a woman’s voice wailed that she did not pick anything out from her house.


The General Manager, Lagos State Building Control Agency, LASBCA, Gbolahan Oki, explained several reasons for the demolition on Friday, while briefing newsmen.


According to Oki, the buildings lacked required approvals and were cited around Airport restricted areas while some are cited on aviation fuel pipelines.

Oki, who described the situation as a disaster waiting to happen, expressed fear of possibile fire outbreak from the pipeline in future which he said could result in loss of lives and properties.

He said the builders also lacked required documents as approvals for construction in that area.

I hope compensation are paid to those affected.

More illegal buildings to be destroyed in the coming week.

Before building your house, get the approval from government

Why not. Should illegal buildings be allowed to stay?

helinues:

The mode of carrying out the excercise doesn't seem right.

The lady alleged that they weren't foretold.

That they weren't able to get their properties out.

Do you think they were not supposed to be informed earlier

There weren't foretold, do you have evidence?

There's how an action would be carried out, and then stenches of witch-hunt will be ozooing out

helinues:

Did you listen to the voice of the lady at the background?

Peace46:
This is painful

it is. Multi million naira gone.

I have asked you to provide evidence that they weren't foretold.

All this wolf crying won't stop LASG from carry on with the destruction of illegal buildings

Supremos:
Did you listen to the voice of the lady at the background?

Hahaha, that's typical Nigeria victim mentality now.

If they are indeed not foretold, why can't they sue LASG?

helinues:

which other evidence do you need more than the affected lady saying it at the background?

Emotional damage

Supremos:

One person? Is that what you want to use as an excuse or justification?

We don buy the whole Lagos doesn't know Lagos is not for sale, unfortunately more will be demolished because Lagos is too congested because of many unapproved buildings.

I sold my property in lagos because I don't like the mode of govt scheme on residential properties.

helinues:


Hahaha, that's typical Nigeria victim mentality now.

If they are indeed not foretold, why can't they sue LASG?

No I don't think it's a victim mentality. If she had gotten a slightest of idea that her property would be demolished, she probably would have moved her properties. She said she was in the hospital when she got the information

Have you seen an armed robber confessing he's one before? Except if they are tortured.

Yeah exactly the scenario here. Government can't just wake up and start to destroy building s, the state attorney must have advised them how to go about it, issuing early notification before demolition.

Court case must have been prepared for self

This comment is made with a mixture of forthrightness and bad fate.

Yes nobody should build in an unapproved location.

But saying "We don buy the whole Lagos", is a sign of ill mind.

All around the world, people buy properties.

Yorubas owns properties even in Portharcourt, US, UK, etc. Will you be happy if they face same fate?. You have burnt their goods in different markets, isn't that enough already?
