Oloye lamented that the state government did not only demolish his house and render him homeless but the demolition took away his only son, Segun from him.

He said that on the day his five-year-old son died, the task force was carrying out the demolition and while he struggled to pack some of his properties into his car, he asked his wife to take his son into the car but while moving to the car, “then my son fell. I asked them to take him to the hospital so that I will continue to hustle to park our belongings.

The human rights movement vowed to"fight alongside the Nigerian people to give him justice,” adding, “Nigerians refuse to be the lamb that is sacrificed on the altar of the insatiable greed of an elite few.”
