Shop demolished by Lagos my only means of survival – 64-year-old widow - Punch Newspapers

she has been left with no means of survival after the Lagos State Government allegedly demolished her shop built in the front of her house in the Allen Roundabout area of the stateMy name is Mrs Adetutu Banjo. I am 64 years old. I am from Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State. I am a trained nurse but when I got married to my husband, I had to quit so I could focus more on my home. I began a petty business which is what I lived on before the Lagos State Government demolished my shop.

The shop was demolished in March 2019. The contractors came around on March 1, 2020, and said they would rebuild the shop. The structure they had in front had already blocked the shop, so I told them there was no need to build that shop but that they should build a small one just by my house gate so that I would just have something to manage since I have nothing doing.They eventually did. They built a small structure, almost one-third of my original shop, but I was okay with it.

On April 6, I was in the Commissioner for Physical Planning’s office to meet him to explain to him what happened. When I got there, he was in a meeting and by the time he saw me, the LABSCA that gave us seven days which was supposed to elapse on April 10 or 11, had demolished the shop. They were not careful in the demolition, so it affected the wall of my house, and since then, that place has been vulnerable.Yes, I did.

Lawbreaker demolishing the property of another lawbreaker. Might is right in Nigeria. If only she has the type of power the LSG has when the FG Policemen and Bulldozers arrived at Magodo to demolish the illegal structures they authorized, she would have been able to prevent this.

Sorry dear .
