It's cos you people don't do your due diligence. You just come into Lagos and erect structures anyhow without acknowledging the people in authority. If your structure is legal, they won't demolish it cos they know the legal implications.

The people who did due diligence and erected structure after acknowleding the people in authority

Lagos and building wahala, when they chased us all out of Lagos, they will rest.

Who are the "US"..?

LeoThaGreat:
Judging by this flagging, there's nothing you can do to salvage this situation.

Lagos State doesn't just demolish and the reason they stated here implicates you.

If you think they are wrong and you're right, sue Lagos State Building Control Agency, but seek multiple professional advice before doing so.

Seek from Lawyers, Land Surveyors and Realtors.

You may choose to visit their office for negotiation but run away from anything that involves the same shortcut that landed you in this position.

Realistically though, your house will be demolished in the long run and there's no way to salvage it

False, he's not under any power line or flood path. He's only penalozee because he didn't do the proper documentation before building.

He would have to settle them but that can a sum. A little sum in comparison to his house capital. You guys should try to read a post in full sometimes

Building in Lagos is a big risk. When criminals rule expect lawlessness

Absolutely! I could never ever ever ever ever build in Lagos. I have sold the house i have in Lagos 5 years ago and have never looked back. It doesn't matter if you have documents, C of O land sketch, soil treatment or any thing else they will take your house or demlish it and grab the land.

omoredia:

The guy himself is a criminal if that is what you have to say because he also took illegal short cuts unfortunately you cannot read to comprehend.

It is time to raise election money.

The annoying part is where they are quoting 2019 laws for buildings erected over a decade before the said law was enacted.

I will never ever ever ever ever build in Lagos ever again, i sold the house i have and left that sheet whole 5 years ago with out looking back. They will take or demolish your house grab your land even with every genuine documents you may have. The corruption in nigeria is too much. Corruptions rules.

Tenses:
Good

So allow Nigerians live where ever they chose.

As if even in Igbo land, they don't discriminate against themselves

Take this down, go to their office and talk things out

Did you read at all or u just want to continue the tribal war that your forefathers started and lose

Who told you that the person you are responding to is an Igbo? I thought by now people would have known how to respond to people obviously bent on mischiefs

Pelaiye2703:
First off, they won't serve you a statutory notice without prior notices. I want to believe they've been to your property and you didn't respond to the notice that has been served, hence the reason why your property was sealed.

So, you're required to obtain a planning permit from the office of Lagos State Physical Planning Permit Authority (LASPPPA) before you commence any construction on your property. After satisfying all requirements then you'll take the Approval or Planning Peemit given to you from the LASPPPA office to the office of Lagos State Building Control Agency (LABSCA) for Authorisation to commence construction, and also for a stage certification before setting out.

Failure to go through the aforementioned channel will warrant the officials of both office to serve you a notice as indicated on your fence and also penalised you for contravening.

Before they can seal your property, they would have serve you different notices which includes;
1. Contravention notice
2. Stop work (if you've an ongoing construction)
3. Demolition Notice
4. Seal-Up Notice; and
5. Quit Notice

In conclusion, you don't have a planning permit or building approval from the approving agencies or go through the proper channels and that's why your property was sealed.

Thank you

In all this explanation, what then can he do to solve the problem?

Gagame:
Good evening everyone,so i can came back from work this evening and i saw this..though not to lie,the people that collected money from me didn’t give me any document to back up the money they collected till date even the soil test people did not give me documents after collecting money from me,they only told me to start work after they closed the place two years ago,now i hear there are new people there..what’s the best step to take pls becuase I don’t have lots of money to throw around.Thank you will be in the comment section

No let anybody scare you. Quickly go for settlement. Nobody will pull down your building if you settle.

To make it easier for you, contact one of the people you use to settle. Even though they are no longer in that office, they must know those who are now in charge. Just send them the pictures of these notices, they will direct you on how you go waka.

No fear jor. House when you don build finish. Na money Dem go chop last last.

Chaii look at the beautiful house they want to demolish in this tinibu's economy, people that do still invest and buy landed properties in lagos really have big hearts i will be the last person to invest a dime in that lagos after seeing all that the lagos state govt has done to the investments of a lot of non indigens in the past. I have a friend in lagos that's into real estate that keeps bothering me to buy some cheap landed properties in some developing areas in lagos but I just kept giving him all kinds of excuses.

Tenses:
Your crime is that you are Igbo.

Do igbo people build houses without getting genuine documents? because even the Op has admitted that.

If you do illegality, be ready to face the music

You have spoken well!
Let the OP call the phone number on the instruction pasted on his building for enquiry and possible way out.

Let him act fast and be persuasive also.

Dem no see makoko slums go demolish

thesicilian:

Help me ask him or her if na Igbo he or her be 😂😂

The usual is goa ahead and build we go settle dem later. I hope this doesn’t later turn into allegations of tribalism.

Why do we never learn?

Such a sweet house
Them wan chop from you
Find the right bodies and give them their own tithe

Enjoy ur house.
They don't demolish houses just like that.

Wickedfacts:
He is not Igbo.

The biggest tragedy of the civil war is the inferiority complex and victim mentality it infused in majority of Igbos.
It drives their interactions with other Nigerians.

Can you explain why that so-called inferiority complex and victim mentality didn't stop them from being the only ethnic group in the country to make substantial investments outside their own region?

Because what you've described as an inferiority complex and victim mentality looks more like self-awareness and confidence to me.

Go and have a word with the DH and reason them

Visit their head office and get your approval done.

Do what Peter Obi would do, the right thing. Go to them and ask how you can do the proper documentations without them bringing down your house and begin to follow their procedure. Then speak with the oga patapata else, that Lagos wey I know, dem go obtain you like no man business and go still demolish your house
