The Lagos State Commissioner has responded to Peter Obiโs recent claims about the demolition
The Lagos State Commissioner has responded to Peter Obiโs recent claims about the demolition of a property allegedly owned by his brotherโs company. Obi had criticized the act, saying the building stood for over 15 years and was demolished based on a vague court judgment that neither mentioned the property, his brother, nor gave any clear demolition order.
In reaction, the Lagos State government insisted that due process was followed. According to the Commissioner:
The demolition followed legal procedures and was based on court rulings and urban planning violations.
He emphasized that no one is above the law, and the action was not targeted at any individual or for political reasons.
The government warned against politicizing enforcement actions, stressing that many structures violating state planning laws are being removed across the state, not just this one.
The full facts, including documents and legal background, were reportedly detailed in the official government release or are expected to be released soon.
