A real estate company, Maters Reality, has petitioned the Lagos State Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, over the demolition of a building at Iju Road in Agege.

The company made this known via the order of the Commissioner for Land and Physical Planning on Friday.

The demolition of the building came after all building permit payments had been made and all efforts to get the same permit have failed since 2019.

Speaking on the matter, the Legal Adviser of Masters Reality, Barrister Luqmam Imam, disclosed that the same permit was requested via a notice at the site.

Imam stated that the company responded to the Lagos State Building Control Agency (LASBCA) that all the necessary payments have been made, lamenting that the delay is coming from the state government.

The legal adviser added that LASBCA slammed penal fees of N500,000 and after making the payment, the building was unsealed by the same LASBCA.

Imam further disclosed that LASBCA, on the order of the Hon Commissioner for Land and Physical Planning, Idris Salako ordered the demolition.

“We suspect a foul play because due process was not followed in the course of demolishing the building.

“We have the strong feeling that the Commissioner is not working for the government, but for some external forces to frustrate our investments.

“We are calling on the Lagos State Governor to Investigate this economic crime,” the legal adviser said.
