After the inspection tour of System 156 and 157 Channel yesterday, we have issued a seven-day contravention notice to owners of buildings lying within the seven metres drainage setback on Orchid Rd, Agungi, Ajiran, Conservation Road, Osapa, Oral Estate II, all along the Ikota River.

We cannot keep lampooning the government for flooding when developers, builders & residents are the main cause of flooding; we shall continue to enforce because that is why laws are made. Without law and order, there cannot be development. Enough of this bad behaviour!

We also visited Chevron Drive, where a stop work order was issued to Gravitas company, owners of Grace Ville Island & Pocket Island.

We urge Lagosians to respect the State Drainage Master Plan to avoid property demolition as there is no going back on the decision of the state to enforce the law and reclaim Drainage setbacks following the expiration of the notices issued.

Any demolition exercise without the arrest & prosecution of the govt officials who gave illegal building approvals & certificates of occupacy renders makes this a wicked & vindictive exercise.

It is not enough to make a lame assumption. If you know anyone with building approval, help them post and tag us. Thanks!

Ok. I'll def do so. Thank you.

Hope there'll be a penalty for fake documents tagging sir?

DEFINITELY!

Hmmm people are going to lose hundreds of millions o ...are they alternative like underground channeling... problem is most of those areas are water logged initially, so sand filling is normal, it becomes difficult to know what is government approved land ... especially when it seems everyone has the same documentation... the Lagos State government should also make effort to digitalize the process, so people can search online in their portal instead of meeting individuals that would sell them gbamjo ...

Lagos state government is wicked..... they can't demolish properties without proper compensation and arrest of the government officials that approved ...but they will not arrest them , cos past governor's, including Tinubu took a share of the bribe by developers
