The Lagos State Government says it has nothing to do with the demolition at Computer Village in Ikeja.

The demolished structure is owned by the Police Officers Wives Association (POWA), which ordered its demolition.

The State government in a Press Statement signed by the Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Gbenga Omotoso, adds that the story is the figment of the imagination of the peddlers of the Story.

The State Government says those circulating the fake news that Lagos State Government is demolishing Computer Village are opportunistic ethnic chauvinists who will always relish in vacuous propaganda that can fuel their fiendish mission; they will always fail in dividing Lagosians.

The State Government according to him will continue to protect the rights of every Lagos resident irrespective of any affiliations urging residents of the State to continue their normal businesses without let or hindrance.

The building belongs to POWA and from what I heard the court ruled in favour of POWA. People should stop peddling fake news.

It's not like they don't know, they just want to cause wahala on the internet.

TylerDurden:
POWA,being the owners of the building complex, had earlier duly issued quit notices to their tennants and communicated clearly that they intended to renovate and remodel the building owing to its derelict state.

The tenants, under a trade union association , took the landlord to court seeking not to be evicted despite the owners having plans for their own building.

The court ruled in favour of the landlords (POWA) who will later give the tenants up till December 31st to evict the building -this was about 2 weeks ago.

In a trending video made by one of the affected tenants who spoke in Ibo, he was captured saying that the state government demolished a federal building.

These people and their lies.

Never ever take anything that comes out of their mouths as facts.


They knew the dispute was between them and their landlord but they still wanted to make it an ethnic issue.

I have had several runnings with them and I know how they can easily slander and make false accusations and allegations against someone.

How can ordinary wives of policemen ordered the demolition of people's properties in a state where all land within the territory of a state belongs to the governor

Chicagograduate:
We know demolition is part of Lagos State ethnic cleansing agenda that is why every demolition is point at the doorstep of the governor.

The goods of the shop owners that were looted by the police officers wives should be compensated.

Everybody is against them. I've worked withamy of them, even when they are in positions higher than others, they still feel threatened by their subordinates.

Yankee101:
This is becoming a targeted assault of peoples wealth
Why did you let them build in the first place? Accepted their ground rent and took revenue from them?

tellwisdom:
You worked with many of them as their driver or phone repairer??
