The Lagos State Government says it has nothing to do with the demolition at Computer Village in Ikeja.

The demolished structure is owned by the Police Officers Wives Association (POWA), which ordered its demolition.

The State government in a Press Statement signed by the Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Gbenga Omotoso, adds that the story is the figment of the imagination of the peddlers of the Story.

The State Government says those circulating the fake news that Lagos State Government is demolishing Computer Village are opportunistic ethnic chauvinists who will always relish in vacuous propaganda that can fuel their fiendish mission; they will always fail in dividing Lagosians.

The State Government according to him will continue to protect the rights of every Lagos resident irrespective of any affiliations urging residents of the State to continue their normal businesses without let or hindrance.

POWA,being the owners of the building complex, had earlier duly issued quit notices to their tennants and communicated clearly that they intended to renovate and remodel the building owing to its derelict state.

The tenants, under a trade union association , took the landlord to court seeking not to be evicted despite the owners having plans for their own building.

The court ruled in favour of the landlords (POWA) who will later give the tenants up till December 31st to evict the building -this was about 2 weeks ago.

In a trending video made by one of the affected tenants who spoke in Ibo, he was captured saying that the state government demolished a federal building.

These people and their lies.

Never ever take anything that comes out of their mouths as facts.


They knew the dispute was between them and their landlord but they still wanted to make it an ethnic issue.

I have had several runnings with them and I know how they can easily slander and make false accusations and allegations against someone.

...and earlier today on another thread, some bigots from the East were already ranting and crying of witch-hunt, ...calling both Lagos State govt and the entire Yoruba tribe all sort of names. See screenshots below:

Tribalism sef

But why LASG need to explain anything give anybody?

Na every state dey demolish. Even dem even demolish road in Kogi, demolish round about in Kano. Lagos is in its right to demolish any destress building

Reason I don't quickly jump into conclusion when I read any news because I must see another counter news...

The media house is also part of the organisations bringing the country down, we should be weary of the kind of news we digest so that it won't consume us...

It's not like they don't know, they just want to cause wahala on the internet.

Every sane person knows this

Enemies of the country are already creating fake news all over.
News that can create chaos is what makes some people happy in life.
Very unfortunate...

Propagandist on the prowl these days

This is becoming a targeted assault of peoples wealth
Why did you let them build in the first place? Accepted their ground rent and took revenue from them?

This false narration is coming from the stable of obirodents. Their trademark is to grunt, wail and peddle falsehood.

Everybody is against them. I've worked withamy of them, even when they are in positions higher than others, they still feel threatened by their subordinates.

No cause for alarm. Nairaland Bigots

How can ordinary wives of policemen ordered the demolition of people's properties in a state where all land within the territory of a state belongs to the governor

The building belongs to the Police Wives Association (POWA). They can decide to do what they want with their building so far it is not against the urban and regional planning of the state.

Why Una dey explain. Una too dey explain too much.

Anybody whey feel say Lagos state govt too hard on them or think say Lagos govt dey intentionally victimise them, make them pack them load go them state , to stay in Lagos is not by force.

Chicagograduate:
We know demolition is part of Lagos State ethnic cleansing agenda that is why every demolition is point at the doorstep of the governor.

The goods of the shop owners that were looted by the police officers wives should be compensated.

Keep spreading rumor and using your ignorance to create enemy for your acclaimed people .

I know say one day na one day .

This people need to be prosecuted foot spreading fake news, otherwise they will continue until they cause disharmony in the state.

Did you read that the building belongs to Police Wives Association (POWA). Those complaining are just tenants who took their landlord to court for evicting them.

In your dream. I don't need to say much.

Ok
