Demolition of houses begins in Lagos

Demolition of houses in Lagos.

The Lagos State Building Control Agency, (LASBCA), said it would embark on demolition of illegal structures constructed under high tension cables and others.

A statement signed by the agency’s spokesman, Mr Gbadeyan Abdulraheem, on Wednesday in Lagos, said the agency had earlier served quit notice on owners of the affected structures.

Abdulraheem said that the demolition exercise would affect owners of structures constructed on pipelines, which according him, “contravened the state’s Physical Planning Laws.”
