CLARIFICATION ON DEMOLITION OF PROPERTY

The Lagos State Government is compelled to address the recent allegations made by Mr. Peter Obi regarding the demolition of a property belonging to his brother. We wish to categorically state that the Lagos State Building Control Agency (LASBCA) or any other arm of the Lagos State Government did not carry out the said demolition.

Dr. Olajide Abiodun Babatunde, Special Adviser, eGIS & Urban Development, who supervises LASBCA, has confirmed that the agency was not involved in the demolition. We find it disturbing that Mr. Peter Obi would make such allegations without verifying the facts.

The Lagos State Government is committed to upholding the rule of law and ensuring the safety and security of all residents. We will not tolerate any acts of lawlessness or violations of extant laws. Any individual or group found involved in such acts will be brought to justice.

We urge the public to disregard Mr. Peter Obi's claims and rest assured that the Lagos State Government will continue to work tirelessly to maintain law and order in our great state. We will not be swayed by baseless allegations or attempts to discredit our efforts.

Furthermore, we have directed the Permanent Secretary, Office of Urban Development, Arc. Gbolahan Owodunni Oki, FNIA, to request a full investigation by the Lagos State Building Control Agency into this matter. This investigation will help clarify the circumstances surrounding the demolition and ensure that any necessary actions are taken.

The Lagos State Government welcomes everyone to live and work in the state, and we assure all residents of our continued commitment to their safety and well-being.

Signed

Mr. Gbenga Omotoso
Honourable Commissioner, Information & Strategy
Lagos State Government

Don't Mislead Nigerians – Land Owner Confronts Peter Obi
https://www.nairaland.com/8460170/dont-mislead-nigerians-land-owner

We are still waiting for the acclaimed owner to come and provide the documents he has.

Una go explain tire.

Peter Obi said he asked those doing the demolition 'whose orders are they following?'. They failed to answer.


Even the alleged Land owner sef just dey babablu.

How can you hire people to demolish something and the people you hired don't know who hired them.

U mean somebody demolished a building without authorization from Lagos government and there is no outrage on their part...

Peter Obi’s lies have been exposed, Big praise to the Lagos State Government for speaking up and starting an investigation to show the real truth.

He has always been a liar.

I am surprised people are just getting to know.

Why I believe the dream I had about his ambition. Angels appeared to me and I was asking about the future of Nigeria. They told me that “ His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) is the light and the way to a prosperous Nigeria and that, Arsenal FC will win the. Champions League before Peter can become President”

So who demolished the property without government's authorisation? Where is the demolition order?

Peter Obi has stirred the hornet's nest.

He should have done a thorough investigation before running to social media to make allegations he cannot substantiate

he cant because he bought the property from a fraudster while he was governor. Thats why he isnt claiming the property and is going out of his way to deflect ownership saying it is owned by his brother.

you own a company, everybody knows Next belongs to you, you are listed as a current director but you claim the property is owned by your brother...have you ever seen that before that an owner of a property will be afraid to come out will his full chest to say the property belongs to him? Maybe because the property was "bought" with state funds during the time he was governor. in the same press coverage, he has said the property belongs to his brother, his family, "they", then "a company"...everybody but himself. He also said the property was bought 15 years ago...15 years ago he was a governor! Is that why he is afraid to claim ownership? or is it because he said i have only 1 house if you see any property in lagos take it. Well the rightful owner has taken it.

The woman who owns the property bought the property directly from the federal government in 2003! The original owner of the land was the federal govt. in line with Obasanjos monetisation programs many federal property in GRA and Ikoyi were sold. if the federal government did not sell it to him who did? if they sold it to the woman in 2003 how can anyone else but the woman whom the Federal govt sold it to sell it to him in 2010?

where on Earth does anyone whose hands are clean own a company, is a current director in the company and claim the property owned by that company belongs to someone else? His brother cannot buy a property in his name? I have cars registered in my company name, they are my cars because my company owns the cars, I dont say they are my brother's cars because my brother is also a director. you only do so when you are hiding something!


now we know where all the cash they found in the boot of his aide went!

Mr Clean!

Anambra people, this is where your money went! unfortunately it went into the hands of a fraudster because the land did not belong to the person who "sold" it to him. When you acquire money illegitimately you spend it recklessly without due dilligence. easy come easy go! Some land swindler is somewhere enjoying Amanbra people's money that he should have used to build good roads instaed of the ones that washed away.

For those who are wondering why the case was brought against "Unknown persons", it is because several attempts were made by the owner to determine the identity of the person occupying the land. This is stated in the police report/affidavit. The occupants of the property refused to divulge the identities of the occupants or their alleged owner. If you are the legitimate owner of a property and it was acquired legitimately, you have no reason to hide your ownership why would you refuse to state the owners of the property when someone else comes claiming they own the property? i once had a piece of land my late father owned but had been illegally occupied by mechanics who said the owner put them there, when I said this is my father's land and asked who is this supposed owner that put you here, they gladly told me. it turns out they had a superior title to my father's but they gladly told me and thats the point. if you have nothing to hide, the occupants will have no problem stating who owns the land. "Unknown persons" is a perfectly valid legal phenomenon especially when you have trespassers and are obtaining a court order to vacate! ask any lawyers in the house!

Big praise that unknown people can demolish houses in Lagos without authorisation?

Peter Obi really messed up. This is so bad and doesn't look good on him.

Basic123:
Why must they answer him?
Who is he in the scheme of things?

And the government is responding to his accusations.


Babablu bulabu. Go play with kids..

Obi is the greatest thing that will happen to nigeria. Man is loaded. A no nonsense presidential Material

Obi is a disgrace to adulthood.

I can't imagine a supposed former governor behaving like a tout.

No decorum, lack due diligence, overpowered by his greed to the presidential stool.

Obi can not rule over me.

Mr supreme court,listen to yourself, something the LASG is just about to start investigation but u have concluded. I think you are too fast to try the case in your own court and concluding in a hurry. Emotional uncontrol is very childish and unfortunate. Honestly!

This was poor marketing by Peter Obi. He always rides on the gullibility of the Obidient masses to peddle fabrications.

What are the issues?

1. Peter Obi released a long Twitter rant claiming Lagos State Government demolished a property belonging to his brother.

2. He desperately tried to play political victim hood.

3. He claimed his brother had occupied the property for 15 years.

4. He further claimed he had documents of ownership of the property.

5. He concluded by saying the country was finished.

6. That some of his followers already believed him and still believe him because they dislike the government.

What has been established?

1. That Lagos State Government did not demolish the property.

2. That there was a court matter between one Deborah Olorunlogbon and persons unknown who were listed as illegal squatters of the property.

3. That the persons unknown never appeared in court to defend their ownership of the the property.

4. That a valid court judgement allowed the petitioner to claim the property.

What has been further established?

1. That 48 hours after Peter Obi's claim, he is yet to furnish the public with the identity of his brother who he claimed his company owned the property. If his brother is bold enough, why can't he show his face? Peter Obi needs to explain if his brother is disabled and cannot speak for himself.

2. That we do not know what the company was producing in the property.

3. That Peter Obi has not furnished us with documents of ownership of the said property.

Are there precedents?

1. This same Peter Obi jumped on the Landmark land issue to make a case for the owner of Landmark in a failed attempt of ethnic solidarity, despite when it was clear that the Landmark owner illegally stole public land for his business. Peter Obi has not apologized for that.

2. That Peter Obi followed Senator Abdul Ningi to lie that Tinubu was implementing a budget different from what National Assembly passed. When Abdul Ningi was suspended for the lie, Peter Obi never apologized.

Big praise that unknown people can demolish houses in Lagos without due process?

Unknown people are the squatters aka what what they call jon smith or jane doe on court documents in the USA. The property owner, the woman, has her name all over the court documents.

Dirty politics to suffocate and slicence Peter obi has started

Yeye dey smell for Lagos

Lies about what? That property wasn't demolished?
So government has never lied to their citizens?
So the people doing the demolition don't know who sent them?
Who gave authorization to demolish that property is what you should be saying.

Witch hunting Peter Obi will never stop him from becoming President in 2027

Peter Obi dropped a big epistle on twitter, and he forgot to attach documents as proof of his so called brother's ownership of the said land.

Peter Obi is now being called a land grabber on twitter.

She has provided the documents.
It is Peter and his people that should provide documents and evidence.
As a matter of fact she won the court case she has the CofO.

By the way she owes you or Peter no explanation as Peter is not a legal party to the case and you also are not.
As a matter of fact she only released a statement to clear the air, not that she owes you or Peter an explanation.


Peter is an adult he should start acting like one and stop behaving like a child whose toy was taken away from.

It only mumu that will not know that PO is playing a pitying card as usual. I swear to God I don’t have anything against that man but bro PO is a manipulator that why I never take him serious on any issues he is coming up with coz he is deceitful.

unknown soldier all over again. true or false?

same play book, different day

Basic123:

So some people come to demolish your house and you will not ask who they are, who sent them or the authorization for the demolition?
