 Now the Lagos State Government has defended the recent demolition of the stressed buildings in the Alaba International Market in the Joloko Garbant area of the state. Many Nigerians had expressed concern over the demolition of the market populated by traders from the southeast. There were insinuations that the exercise was the state's government's own way of getting back to the ebos for rejecting the all-progressive Congress APC in the last general election. The general manager, Lagos State Building Control Agency, Bola Hon Oki, who visited the market front on the sport assessment of the site, insisted that the exercise neither was a witch hunt nor intended to acquire the land but to protect lives. He said most of the demolished buildings were without permits. Now we are here to do the demolition that we have done and then the reason for it, and I can see that as far as we are concerned from the little that we have done, we can see the state of the buildings. And one of the reasons that we are here, if you look at your back, you have some of the buildings here. From tomorrow, no iron, no cement, no sand must be missed on the sand until further demolition. My mandate is to remove anything that is dilapidated, that is harmful to the people that even owns it. The job of the committee is not just to come and feel the demolition, it is to establish the reason for the demolition, where there are violations everywhere the government must do its job. The government is not here to witch hunt anybody and the citizens that are doing business here are not out there to violate or break the law intentionally. So everything that needs to be done must be done with sincerity or purpose and with the mission of peaceful coexistence. So if anybody is wrongly demolitioning property, they will look into it. Thanks.
