Ogun demolishes houses, markets for road expansion

 Buildings in various area of Abeokuta, Ogun State were demolished on Sunday.

The Ogun State Government, Monday, continued its demolition of some houses in Abeokuta, the state capital to create room for expansion of some roads in the capital.

Despite the pleas of some house owners and residents, the government continued with the demolition which started on Sunday.

The state government had given residents and owners of the affected buildings a deadline to evacuate the affected houses.

At the expiration of the deadline, the government pulled down many of the buildings with excavators, sparing none of the buildings it had earlier marked for demolition.

Several residents were seen scampering to salvage their belongings.

Some of the affected areas include Ibara, Omida, Post Office, Panseke, Isale-Igbein, Sapon, Ago-Oko and Itoku.

The state governor, Ibikunle Amosun, said arrangements for compensation have already completed.

PREMIUM TIMES learnt that some of the affected landlords have been issued cheques.
