Concerned by the need to protect many lives and save Lagos from disasters, the State Government has started pulling down buildings that were discovered to be posing severe threat to Lagosians in the state.

As gathered the building were over 13 and were said to have been erected by the owners without obtaining construction approvals from the Federal Government through Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), and Lagos State government.

Aside from not obtaining any approval, the affected structures were said to have been built by their owners on pipelines channelled to transport aviation fuel to the Murtala Muhammed Airport in Ikeja.

Also, the buildings that were pulled down on Friday on I.K. Peter Street, Ajao Estate, were discovered to have been constructed by their owners encroaching on airport restricted areas.

The General Manager, Lagos State Building Control Agency (LASBCA), Gbolahan Oki, and explained several reasons for the demolition while briefing newsmen with the General Manager, Business Development, FAAN, Hycienth Ngwu.

Oki stressed that the buildings lacked required approvals and were cited around Airport restricted areas while some were cited on aviation fuel pipelines.

Oki described the situation as disaster that when it happened could claim dozens of lives and property in the state.

According to him, the builders also lacked required documents as approvals for construction in that area.

The LABSCA boss stressed that the buildings were illegally constructed out of clear disregard to the requirements of extant laws.

Mentioning that the buildings had no planning permit and were built around the pipelines, Oki said that “nobody in his right thinking mind will go and buy a plot on a pipeline and build on the pipeline.”

He stated that due consultations and communications have been made with enough time of over eight years, 2016, given to the occupants of the affected buildings to evacuate the structures.

He described the buildings on the land as “National risk” to the airport being “extremely close”, stressing that “no life of a Nigerian is worth being lost to the dangers that the citing of the buildings pose.”

Also, Ngwu said “the agency is happy Lagos State Government is stepping into the issue after several warnings in attempt to stop the constructions of buildings were not yielded to by those it called “encroachers, who stole from the land of the Airport.”

He lamented that the authorities of the airport began to serve notice encroachment on its land in 2016 on occupiers for defying the standard rule that no building must be cited close to the perimeter fence of the Airport

“the agency is happy Lagos State Government is stepping into the issue after several warnings in attempt to stop the constructions of buildings were not yielded to by those it called “encroachers, who stole from the land of the Airport.”

Meanwhile, he commended the partnership with LASBCA to bring sanity, normalcy and decency to the Airport environment.

Ajao estate needs the urgent attention of LASG after all the area has gone through with threat to bring the proscribed ipob group to our city.
Election is over so real governance has started.

Wetin this mugu dey yarn self? Have you given attention to Ondo villages fleeing from herdsmen? How does recovering airport land relate with IPOB? Future yoruba generation are doomed as the fear of Igbos dictate everything concerning their lives

All you know to do is insult , crminally defame and curse. You can never ever change. That is why nobody takes you lot serious.

If you like go and buy the land again. LASG will still demolish it. Lagos is not for sale o. It has never been for sale and if you know you know

The only people taking you serious is zamfara, yobe, Jigawa, kebbi and all the most backwards states. Lol

Keep mocking other non Igbo Nigerians then later wonder again why Mr Obi is not known at all in the core North and Yorubaland.

Lagos has been sold and bought. Recovering airport land has nothing to do with it. Return to your brown roofs

I guess Lagos which Peter Obi won is in Anambra ABI? What about Rivers and Benue that irev has proved that Obi won, restricting the mandate thief to 10 most backwards states Nigeria. If you and core north are not backwards scums you would have known that you need Obi more than Obi needs you. But because you are very backwards, you think election is tribal favor. Sorry, Igbos don't beg for friendship. Public office is come and work not come and chop. Core north has been overrun by bandit while fulanis chase you to Benin Republic

Later they will say it is aimed at Igbo people. People should learn to obey the rules. Here, Ignorance is not an excuse. Ensure you get professional advice before you buy or invest on any property.

Nice

Some days ago, it was Banana Island, today na Ajao Estate.

Governor Sanwoolu is working

I am Igbo, but any Igboman that will see this demolition as a vendetta against Igbos is stupid and an illiterate. It's hight time we start telling our people in Lagos to start behaving like human beings. We sink billions of naira developing swamps and canals that are not even authorized, yet turn around to cry witchhunt.
On Monday, another set of fool's will still buy illegal land and start building mansions even after all this warnings. I wont pity anyone that loses his or her property in Lagos from now henceforth.

No Igboman sees it as vendetta. It's miscreants from Osogbo that wants to paint it that way. Demolition of illegal structure to reclaim government land is totally normal. Some low life lazy Yoruba youths without future hope are hallucinating on a day when Lagos State government will destroy Igbo property and hand it over to them. We will not allow them console themselves with this type of news

My brother I weak ooh

If your generation is not doomed, then you wont abandon your region to come and slave in Yoruba land.

Election has come and gone. Why don't you go get a life and maybe a meaningful employment instead of constituting a nuisance.

Smh. What is it in the report that offended you this much? They have been warned since 2016,your brother threatening his Yoruba hosts did not see anything wrong in that same Ajao estate yet you are here hating.smh.
It will take a long time before this negative effect of this your set of insultive lot go out of fashion in SE but I am confident that the era will come.

This is apparently a good move by the LASG, but wetin concern "ipob" with the report? cause I fail to see the correlation, except you're implying that Igbos are the ones who own all the structures and properties in Ajao estate?

Which long time?

You never see anything mate..

Enugu alone has more than 100 estates developing at the same time?

When you travel from Oshogbo to Onitsha to buy your wares instead of buying it in near by Lagos, you will remember that everyone can go crazy at same time.

Like i said. Get something meaningful to do with your life. Election is over.

The post's topic is confusing, " What message are you passing "🥱🥱🥱🥱

Honestly am an Igbo man too. But nothing gives me joy everyday than the pulling down of so called Igbo structures in Lagos.

I pray everyday for this and God seems to be answering.

I really wish Sanwo Olu can destroy Computer village, ASPAMDA, LADIPO and Alaba. Those markets are meant to be in Eastern region. Asin totally destroy them. Some Ndigbo need to have sense.

Do you know I have one of my Anambra brothers who has over 20 estates in Lagos alone. 15 are all on the island alone... LIKE WHAT DA HELL?

Another very stupid Igbo man from same Anambra has over 40 houses in Ogba and Ojodu berger. The way this man was investing into properties even got me scared. But this same iddiot has only 2 buildings in the East. What a buffon!

Such volume of Real Estate should be in your village even if its not yielding money.

You get mind dey develop another man region? Don't we think of our future generations who will come in 100 years time?

Honestly Sanwo Olu should continue with the destruction of all Igbo properties both LEGAL and ILLEGAL. There is something we are looking for.

If They runaway from the destruction of Igbo properties they started, may death and destruction never depart from their families and lineage in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

Of course that's their pain. He expects Lagos to level the estate and give the land to MC oluomo and his gang. But we are here to remind him that only portions encroaching on the airport lands were demolished and FG will take it back. Nothing for the rascals

And I ask again, what have you done about fulanis slaughtering you and chasing you to Benin Republic?

Estate is a business Igbos understand very well
