The demolition was carried out by the State Task Force on Environmental and a team of policemen on Sunday morning after shop owners made a last minute evacuation of their goods, including burglaries, roof sheets and office furniture.
The chairman of the Task Force, Bayo Suleiman, who led the operation, said the action was taken to return the park to its former glory.
According to him, those who were handed the management of the park had converted some of its section to burial grounds for their dead relatives.He also said there was growing concerns about the security of the place, noting that the state government will not compromise its security policy.
Mr. Suleiman alleged that “some of the properties within the park have even been bought and they cut off some parts of the land and sell it off.”
No fewer than 44 buildings were affected by the demolition, including a building housing the Redeemed Christian Church of God in the park.
