The Lagos State Building Control Agency (LASBCA) on Friday vowed to demolish shanties and illegal structures at Ogombo area in Eti-Osa Local Government Area. Arc. Gbolahan Oki, General Manager, LASBCA, said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos. Oki said the land sold by land grabbers, popularly called ‘omo

oniles,’ to unsuspecting buyers belonged to the state government. He explained that the state government had issued several notices of demolition to the illegal occupants of the area for over five years. According to him, about 80 to 90 per cent of the buildings are shanties, with few illegal structures that have no building plan approval or documents from the government and no layout for the area.

“The law says that the agents are responsible for property search, so buyers meet them to help them get land when needed. “Before the buyers pay for the property, they also meet a lawyer for verification and legal agreements. “We expect both the estate agents and the lawyers to carry out due diligence on behalf of the prospective buyers, before allowing them to make financial commitment.
