Igbo youths under the aegis of Coalition of South East Youth Leaders, COSEYL have condemned in strong terms the demolition of buildings in Ajao Estate by the Lagos State Government, accusing Gov. Babajide Sanwo-Olu of fanning the embers of ethnic hostilities.

At least 13 houses have been pulled down at the estate since the demolition began on Friday.

General Manager, of Lagos State Building Control Agency, LASBCA, Gbolahan Oki, said the affected buildings lacked required approvals and were cited around airport-restricted areas and on aviation fuel pipelines.

Describing the situation as a disaster waiting to happen, Oki said the buildings could cause a pipeline explosion in the future which according to him, could result in loss of lives and properties.


The LASBCA boss also said the property owners lacked the required documents as approvals for construction in that area.

But in a swift response, COSEYL claimed that most of the affected buildings were owned by Igbo people living in Lagos.

The apex Igbo socio-political youth group in the South East dismissed the excuses by LASBCA as flimsy, alleging that the action was a political vendetta.


It claimed it was targeted against Ndigbo for voting against the ruling All Progressive Congress, APC, in Lagos during the just-concluded general elections.


COSEYL in a press statement by its President General, Goodluck Ibem, called on Governor Sanwo-Olu to immediately halt the action to avoid igniting civil unrest.


The statement read in part: COSEYL is enraged over the massive demolition and destruction of houses and property belonging to Igbos in Rockview Ajao Estate and other areas supposedly won by the Labour Party, LP, during the presidential elections in Lagos State.

“This is wicked, barbaric, senseless, and stupidity of the highest order.

“Governor Sanwu-Olu is gradually building up anarchy and a war that might consume the entire Nation. We warn him to retrace his step and stop forthwith the demolition of Igbo houses in Lagos State.”

COSEYL further alleged that the situation had confirmed that the Lagos State Government had explanations to offer in the fire outbreaks in some Igbo-dominated markets in Lagos.

It challenged the State Government to explain all it knew about ” the attacks and killings of Igbos during the general elections in Lagos”.

The statement further read: “Dr. William Wilberforce Chuba Okadigbo of blessed memory ones said that:” If you are emotionally attached to your tribe, religion or political leaning to the point that truth and justice become secondary considerations, your education is useless. Your exposure is useless. If you cannot reason beyond petty sentiments, you are a liability to mankind”.

“We call on President Muhammadu Buhari to call Governor Sanwu-Olu to order before he throws the country into anarchy and lawlessness.

“Nigerians no matter the tribe are constitutionally empowered by law to live in any state or community of their choice and that law to bigger than Sanwu-Olu and his partners in crime to change overnight.

“We call on the United Nations and the international community to immediately intervene while also placing a visa ban on Governor Sanwu-Olu and his partners in this wickedness against humanity.”

Are they saying Igbos are the ones illegally building houses on pipelines and government land in Lagos?

Lagos will demolish every property built on government land, if you don't like it, go and die.

Now they call on Jubril El Sudan to help them caution Sanwo-Olu

They also want international comiunity to issue Visa ban to Sanwo Olu who has diplomatic passport

Reading the comments above mine just makes me wonder if we really know what racism is. What we are about practicing will be worse compared.

People should remember that we are Nigeria first before ethnic groups.

Normally you should feel pity for them, but when you consider to how much they make mouth you can't help it but feel indifferent.

Igbos would buy one plot in the SW, manage to build it and be feeling they've arrived cus I can't seem to understand how they get to buy ancestral land in the city. bunch of demented jokers, now even with the half plot they manage to buy SW Government dey collect am.

Those guys really need to learn tbh.

Your dubious nature made you build houses on pipelines, without legal documents. Stop with the victim mentality before it consumes you! Also, bulldoze every Yoruba house built illegally on Igbo soil

yarimo:
This is very commendable from Lagos state government.

Owambe will soon be banned

.

Political motivated ko.
Same Lagos state government that demolished ancestral buildings in ikorodu.
Anything for growth is welcome.


Na we be your best plug for everything Sexual enhancement tho

Approach and tact is important, when approaching government, especially on matters of land. The government clearly said, the houses were built in pipelines...

any igbo that don't like it should relocate back to igboland
