In a statement on Sunday, Lawal said that the building, which had been under construction since 2009, had the full approval from the state government and was scheduled for commissioning by the end of September before the demolition.

The project manager said the building had no structural or quality issues that would warrant demolition, adding that the third floor of the now-demolished building was to house the Ogun East Senatorial Office.

This online media platform reports that rumours had made rounds that Abiodun and Daniel were reportedly at loggerheads.

Speaking to Peoples Gazette, Lawal said the demolition was “very shocking, very cruel and a heinous act committed by someone who is supposed to be saving our lives and properties; by somebody who is supposed to protect the rule of law in this state.”

He added that as the building developer, everything that was required from state government officials was done; therefore, the demolition was shocking.

Lawal said: “We’ve done what was needful from our side regarding this project. They complained of contravention, and we made amendment to the approval, submitted since last year. This is a building that’s almost two years now. Every queries raised, we answered them.

I said can we perform magic in this life?”
