About 13 houses in Ajao estate and Shasha areas of Lagos have been demolished by the Lagos State Building Control Agency (LSBCA) and the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN).
Residents have lamented as Lagos State Government demolished no fewer than 13 residential buildings at the Ajao Estate area of the state.
The demolition which began on Friday has been blamed by the state authorities as illegal occupation, and construction along the pipeline and cited in close proximity to the Murtala International Airport, Lagos.
A viral video showed the demolition of the buildings carried out as a woman’s voice wailed that she did not pick anything out from her house.

Let home owners also come to the TV station to say their own side of the story. Not all Nigerians are stubborn but instead say "human beings have tendency of stubbornness "
How come the land that belongs to the government is being sold. The seller should be responsible. Buyers ought to be protected by consumer protection from the government. The seller that sold land that belonged to the government is that not 419?
Omonile don't care, they are after that money they are collecting
Buyers must beware of any illegality that is being concealed by the seller. Would you buy a stolen car?
Morayo, you should have invited homeowners in that area because the Nigeria government and government agencies can be economical with the truth like always
That is how Apc do their things💔Were were Lagos state when those houses were about to be built or even in the process of building,they will ignore and turn blind eye only to open it when the buildings has been completed.
You cannot conclude on this issue because the government told you. Why don't you invite some of the people affected and interview them. Also investigate who gave approvals for the buildings.
I agree with the investigations if any approval was granted.
The sad thing is people build houses without approvals.
They should call in, or issue press statement, since bad news is what you love
It's painful that these things happen year in year out and all people do is blame government. Were they supposed to be there in the first place?? If due diligence is done, knowing the huge amount U are committing to the property then they won't be there in the first place. In the place I do my biz, many buildings have been marked for demolition by government over 10yrs, and people are buying and selling those properties saying that government won't come (buyers and sellers)
Notices served since 2016, several meetings held with home owners on this matter continuously. But some people have no regard for the state or the law. Crooked, arrogant people...due process is important before purchasing property
There is no sympathy for those that knowingly built houses where they are not supposed to. Serves them right. Today, houses cost hundreds of millions of Naira to build. Why build in a place where you are not supposed to? Serves you right
So it is better for the government to wait for the pipeline to explode and the entire neighborhood to explode! Nigerians need to know that when you do the crime you have to serve the time. STOP blaming government for everything. Nigerians need to start taking responsibility for their actions and STOP expecting the government to be their 24 hours babysitter. The government has the responsibility to establish the rules and has the RIGHT TO EXPECT a reasonable person not to violate the rule. Those that do and bribe their way through are complacent and shall live with the consequences.
That land could have been sold by Lagos govt. itself. Leaders in Nigeria cannot be trusted. Also I bet to disagree that homeowners do not have permit for those buildings.
Threes always difference btw personalities and the govt, b it state or federal, anything u bought thru padi padi, u are in ur own, anything signed from offices, not back doors, to offices should clear to u to b done officially, go thru back doors, but later the official will come to u officially.
The evil in Nigeria will get to anyone that supports evildoer
Where is the government when these people are building these houses??? Government is responsible for protecting these people by preventing them from buying these lands, and going to the extent of building it this high. Why pushing people into poverty
Most of these builders are away, I know somewhere in Ejigbo Lagos state, people are buying land under power line and building, even before they build they have been told the Land is under power line some will say before the demolision they must have live for long. Nigerians are stubborn to be sincere
Nigeria govt are so i responsible, and its citizens are unpatriotic.. and when those two things clashes the result is so unbearable.
And what is your country doing? Living caves..😂😂take care of your own problems, rather than talk about Nigeria. Nigeria is the giant of Africa
The Govt should make all the owners of these properties pay for the Demolition and clean up costs barring which they are never to be issued a permit in the State for anything until the full costs is paid ....this is an unnecessary costs being incurred by the Govt as a result of wilful disregard
You take the knife away when the person is a child not to be talking to the child until he is full grown adult! I mean who does that? The courts are there; all FAAN needed to do was to go to court for an interim injuction immediately they discovered any encroachment on their land. The interim injuction is to immediately stop the home owners from building any structure since it was trespass on their land pending when the court will look into the matter.Most government agencies in Nigeria dont have Standard operating procedures otherwise FAAN should have known the steps to follow in a situation like this! Waiting for people do use resources to build only to come and demolish them is archaic and should be discouraged going forward. We are not in the military era! Government should therefore put in place proper machinery to checkmate encroachment and prevent development on its properties early enough. Those monies put into these demolished buildings could have been put to better use which would have been of benefit to the society at large.
There are standard operating procedures. Perhaps it needs some update.
For instance, I have seen cases where people evade being served notice.
Above all, we all need to be more informed about real estate so we can begin to make better demands from the govt.
They bought the land from whom?
Igbos learn from 2023 election in Lagos.
Start thinking home bring back your investment wealth back home.
Be wise make a hay when the sunshine now 🤔🤔🧠
Why is the FAAN lady beating around the bush? Why did she refuse to answer Bisi's and Marian's question? What did the government do before the buildings were put up? There is something fishy about that. There should NEVER have been access to land that has a gas pipe passing through.
I agree with one of the comments that residents in that community should have been invited as well. Invite the president from the Homeowners Association if you really want to know the truth.
Invite resident so as to have 2 side views..
Good question.
Empathy must be with objectivity. People believe "nothing go happen!". Money will do it. Our people can be reckless and carefree. The analogies of the ladies is somewhat warped in saying government should interrupt the building process. Once warning is issued to adults, they can expect consequences even in 40 years. Now.....We are all learning. Without judgements, we won't learn righteousness.
Why did the government allowed than to build it at the first time?
The ladies are asking the right questions. The FAAN acting general manager is dodging, avoiding and dancing around the questions. 1) Were there erected signs to indicate this government property. 2) Were their no trespassing signs? 3) Why did they allow the builders to continue construction? 4) Why didn’t they stop the constructions at the foundation level? The FAAN lady did not and could not answer any of these questions. They intentionally allowed the buildings to be completed, knowing fully well that they will show up eventually to demolish these buildings. Real wickedness. My comments do not necessarily exonerate the owners of the buildings. They are also culpable.
Before you buy a land , go to Ministry of Land and Housing to verify the ownership of the land weather it belongs to Government or private. All the records are there in the Ministry.
@@JoinOnasanya-pc8js - Even of all these relevancy informations are available, some stubborn Nigerians will still pay government officials to buy the land. In Nigeria, money talks are BS walks. This is who we are.
Demolition is not under FAAN's purview. She stated there has been series of meetings and letters written to the appropriate authority
@@adeteleolaosineye6941 - The question she avoided was, why did the authorities not stop the construction at the beginning?
Good 👍
I commend LASG for enforcing building and environmental laws
This shows how lazy and slow the government is. When they were erecting the building, why not stop it then❓Also, if these area are reserved for the gov't why not fence it off until construction 🚧 begins❓
Who sold airport land and why is that person not in prison
What is the role of consumer protection agency? In the USA as buyer or consumer buying an item or whatever it the responsibility of the broker to get it right ! Consumer are not required to be educated on all item they want to buy. In the USA when you are buying a house all you need do as buyer is just sign, it the responsibility of buyer broker to get it right.
Corruption is the worst evil in Nigeria. It is too, too much. The result is that the country has failed to develop properly, despite having abundant wealth. Okay, agreed, many Nigerians lack discipline to observe the laws. But, how does that situation become acceptable? What is the purpose of government? On the other hand, why did the authorities not give the resident a DEADLINE to remove all their belongings from the structures? Then, demolition could begin after that date? Frankly speaking, it was so cruel, mean, and wasteful to destroy citizens’ personal effects in such a manner. A big shame! Can you now start to put everyone in jail, who allowed them to build on that land?
Blame everything on government. The government of a sane country will not even make sure land available for buyers. You guys knows who to blame yet, blaming nigerians. Shame on all of you all
Abeg chill. Nigerians have habit of ignoring stop 'work signs'. Someone built under a hight tension line ten feet from a highway. The local govt chairman interceded to let it stand.
Oil no dey Lagos and they're talking about pipe line
Aviation fuel pipeline to Murtala Mohammed Airport I heard
Oil no dey Lagos, so no pipeline for Lagos? Your mumu strong o😂😂😂
By standard operating procedure of demolition as i have been told, the exercise should not be publicized after required notices have been servied.
The people should not be on pipelines, waterways, under current wire. Put in some discipline there... because if you do not discipline them at home then they will leave the country and end up in trouble.
I believe that the government should do their job very well.
It is well
This demolition issue doesn't make any sense. Somehow the residence got permission to build. It takes how many years to build, so why were the owners not fine heavily, etc when the infrastructure was laid. Also why would anyone want to build on a visable pipeline? In addition, why can't they move the pipeline to another location? Pipeline should not be on residential land. This entire issue appears to be the fault of both owners and gov agency. This is sad. I would really like to hear from some of the residents. If the gov wanted to demolish then pay the owners for their house/land. Even the way they are demolishing the homes is a risk for a pipeline explosion.
What pipeline? Why did they allow them all this years and the pipeline has not affected? FAAN is federal agency. What has state government and pipeline got to do with FAAN? #Igbophobia
Jetfuel for busy airports are transported by pipelines.
@@buy1bblget1free NNPC - PPMC owns and operates products pipelines, not FAAN. The pipeline operator is not in this picture. It's a post election frame up. It's #Igbophobia
This would have been avoided with as little as 70k.
That's good.
As u the official workers should be arrested, so it shouldn't happen again.
These are some of the consequences of a lawless country. Even on our property in the US, there are flags denoting gas pipelines and other things so you can’t even do anything to your yard without the city. Considering you need to bribe to get anything in Nigeria, any wonder things like this continue to happen? I wish they allowed the owners retrieve their movable assets though and arrest those who sold those lands
Nigerians will remove walls not to talk of FLAGS
Okay what stops the Lagos state government from visiting makoko and construct over pass on makoko
They are benefitting 💯
Why is the land not mark as pipe line and government area for everyone to see the government is at fault
The earlier we realize these the better for us;
1. Real estate in form of shelter is critical to human survival and existence. Hence we all get very emotional about it - self interest. But this can be properly channeled.
2. Our population is increasing by the day. Hence there will be more pressure on the need for shelter especially in cities.
Real estate purchase option is the option available to most people. It also makes it prone to scams. Buyers needs to be very aware and adequately educated.
3. The govt both at the State and Federal level is yet to understand the connection between developing real estate and the nation actually. The countries we call developed today have understood this - apply human resources (creative minds) to tangible real estate. Recent example is Dubai. Individual and collective wealth can be increased in an efficient manner not this type of demolition issues where resources are going down the drain.
What if the govt starts a Zero demolition project?
4. The govt needs to get citizens to trust her since she (the govt) holds land in trust to administer it.
Magodo is really a different issue. Looking at it from an economic standpoint, I don't think any reasonable govt will want to such schemes to be bastardised. It will devalue and demarket the state. Except if there is an intentional sinister purpose.
6. Govt should also ensure that her office and powers is not continuously used to take revenge, cut corners or take over lands adversely. Ensure justice instead between aggrieved parties.
7. Land surveillance should be automated. Geofencing of some sort.
Having listened to the entire arguments and comments made here, it is clear that the process of building houses in Lagos is not well understood. When you buy a piece of land, you take your building plans for approval by the town planning council. This means that you will get planning permission to build. The town council offcials then comes round to inspect the building to make sure that you are building according to plan and not encroaching on public space. There are corrupt officials that will take money to turn a blind eye and this is what seems to have happened. It is clear that those that built illegal structures knew that they were doing the wrong thing. These houses costs hundreds of millions of naira to build! To say these people are stubborn is wrong. They are stupid to spend such huge amounts of money and deserve what they get. There is no need to sympathize with them.
You think if your government is sensible and responsible enough, that land should be on sales? Yet, is still government that still approved. You guys are just talking trash. Because u ain't the victim?
What would the conversation be like if there was a pipeline explosion along the corridor where these buildings are?
Good question.
I dont think the caller is keeping it 100. What about those that have invested, have paid 2 years rent and have no money to go anywhere? And then calling them stubborn children? 😢
Why did Lagos state allow resident to build on the pipeline😢😢😢
Why can’t we search a land coordinate online, this is 2023 if you’ve ever been to lans in Alahusa, the unprofessional attitude of the workers there is appalling
You no
Huumm...Lagos state palava..run
No problem Nigerians note the address no one should erect on the land as its on the pipeline ..this will clear Lagos state government of the accusation of lgbophobia
The government could have stopped this building to carry on . There's blame on both sides of the matter.
We're all enemies of our self, no matter your position or job or calibre, if you're not fighting for humanity sake and do things properly, it'll all affect the populace. What has Nigeria and those in govt does for his people except to put them in pains. Why will the govt allocated a land to people to resell without proper land surveying, good mapping to determine the pipeline route and make those areas like for a park and not for residential or anything whatsoever.
The property racket in Lagos is terribleeeee! I purchased two plots of land from a family in Ibeju Lekki and I lost millions because the land was resold to another person. I do not know about anti Igbo agenda but both Yoruba and Igbos have issues which they are the ones that will resolve them. I will never develop anything in Lagos. I would rather an affordable estate in Abuja than a mansion in Lagos anytime.
I am sorry to hear about your experience.
What does the due diligence that you carried out before purchase entails?
Please note that I have been a victim of losing money too in Ibeju Lekki before. My lawyer at the time is a Nigerian who speaks Igbo.
@@realkemiadeyemo What about Corrupt officials in Alausa that take bribes and give false information. Lagos has potential but the places is fraught with too many illegalities. Invest in your home state first. Lagos is not the only place to make money from property.
@@gerardonochie3408 oh yes. There are corrupt officials perhaps in every state office.
We expect them to do right by us. But since they are yet to start doing that, we can start making demands for what is right. Especially as it's yours or my money at stake. I tell investors that it is okay to walk away if the dots are not connecting.
But many investors needs to learn what to ask or demand for - what dots to connect.
Warren Buffett says don't invest in something you don't know about. Nigerian investors, we think money first so we are quick to part with it. It should be education/knowledge first.
Of course, anyone is free to invest in their villages, other states or wherever they feel it's safer for them to. But not without adequate knowledge and being CLEAR why you are embarking on investing in real estate in any location.
Nigerians are an interesting bunch. They built houses inside army barracks near trade fair. When the military starts demolishing some groups will cry foul. Corruption is too much in Nigeria. They demolished Maroko decades ago, nobody imputed tribe as they were all locals. Good governance and institutions are invaluable in any society.
@@mimianon9025 I know!! Unfortunately the ethnic or tribal sentiment has been fanned to the highest heavens in the last few years! Maroko was a slum that housed both the locals and lots of struggling people from other tribes - I had three family members living there with their families. When it was demolished, they were all affected but no one whipped up sentiments because the occupants knew the area at the time was not something to behold especially close to the then golden VI not the VI of todayooo! It takes more than one to execute corruption!! The “bribe giver” must have a “bribe taker/asker”! We can blame government all we want but we must apportion more of that blame to us, the citizens! We go along knowing what we are doing is wrong. Nigeria is a country where anything goes and we justify our actions with slogans like, “Naija no dey carry last” but look where we are on world stage! I was in Nigeria recently and it really hurt me to see Lagos especially the Apapa/Oshodi axis( worse was FESTAC AND AMUWO ODOFFIN areas), Victoria Island😭😭😭 even Ikoyi, Port Harcourt the way they are now! In a matter of time , Lekki et al (phase 1 already looks like a shanty and my apologies to residents) will pivot and start looking like current VI.
Let me not start with my adopted hometown, Port Harcourt😭😭😭😭! It’s like everyone emptied into Lagos and Port Harcourt without considering affordability.
Everyone is their own local government - decide what to do, when , how and where and by any means necessary. The government has indirectly fostered this by failing to provide basic infrastructure and other publicly funded resources/amenities including housing.
I don’t want to grieve because that’s what happens when I remember Nigeria!!
Never blame the victim. The homeowners here are the victims; and the timing for the demolition is suspect. The authorities shouldn’t give room for people to believe that the act is simply a political vendetta. If they weren’t incompetent, they would’ve known that an illegal structure is being erected there, and initiate a stop from the foundation.
You don’t just wake up one day and decide you’re taking a truck to an occupied building without due processes like procuring court documents and condoning off the structures for a certain period of time to enable the occupants to relocate.
Stubbornness isn’t the issue here, and is unsustainable.
Demolition is not cheap. And if indeed notices have been served which is usually served at different times and ample time given, then sorry..
In other cases where I have seen demolition happen, it's the association of residents who write to the town planning offices to come check and see if the structures are approved.
So we are all sorta involved.
how are they the victims?
She is talking rubbish, nobuilding is built without government agent collecting money and approval given by state government, so state government is responsible and should pay compensations
I really appreciate the ladies that speak.
They have brain 🧠.
Anyway journalist love viewership, illegality now has human faces
Respect people who lost dignity by breaking law
Beecee is right about the Magodo situation.
Okay, in a nut shell, our problem in Nigeria is the rule of law and the judiciary system.
On a lighter note, what's up with these May Day facial makeups
Just put up the signs and mark of as unprohibited. Put the skull and bone signs up in the area ....
The end is 2 /0
But you could have allowed them to take their belogings.Woman please you don't have feelings at all.The spoken person from FFA.
Governments fail to mark areas with such high profile danger. Since they have failed to do that, they watched the yorubas sell this lands and they say nothing. A place like Ajao is not hidden, there is a local government chairman there.
Since the government has failed in all of these, the best alternative should have being to rechannel that pipeline, that could be easier than and save some of these masses the loss and that loss on the side of the government will make them situp with their responsibilities. Governments first responsibility is protecting life and property, but not trying to save lives here and destroying properties while at it, and mind you some of the owners of these buildings will definitely develop heart attacks and die. So have you really saved lives?
Giving them notice without any form of arms to aid them relocate to another place is actually another murder, where do you want them to go. Any human being is attached to their properties. Governments has failed.
A way to mark all these pipelines especially where you notice that urbanization is taking place, is to mount a long steel casted strong from the ground up. This will help notify the buyers. Sometimes, this yoruba land sellers lie to people that there is no such thing just to collect their hard earned money and mislead them to build.
The last thing, why didnt he destroy the house before the election. Why now?
I do believe this is retaliation against the Igbos.
They waited till this stage before demolition. Could they not have placed a banner indicating or directly contacting the land owners before now? Due diligence works both ways and from experience I know the government middle name is complacent and disregard.
She lies mad woman mad governor
Why can u people invite the people involved . rubbish
All lies to cover their evil acts. ndi igbo una eyes never open yet. This is evil at its highest order. I heard this was an igbo community area. They demolished the properties with their furniture in the properties....
Why are igbos having community at another person's land?? Just a question??Abeg go and develop your SE.
Stop talking undue advantage obey the law no one should be above the law no godfatherism
This woman really speaks the truth. Good 👍
Pay back to the Igbos for not voting APC. Shame on the government
What's next?? Move to another zone. Abeg go build in your papa land na.
@@immyammy7185Don't worry, they will live very soon, seaport and international airport is coming to their land... Yoruba people is a disgrace to Nigeria
You people have damaged this country
Criminals.
Madam you know you know you know . Go and learn how to talk properly
I knew the victims would be mainly Igbo and non-Yoruba
Why do you say so?
@@realkemiadeyemo. I don’t know why people are praying for Nigeria to become like SUDAN… by promoting Ethnic hatred… You don’t follow the rules you pay for it… You can’t buy land without due process.
This is what they do
Claiming they are victimised all the times.
I keep saying that you can't bully the bully, because we yorubas are the host does not mean we are easy to be bully.
We will stand tall.
Craziness. They come to your land and fight the indegens. They reject the laws. The only set of people giving other tribes issues. Everyway they are. Why you all the time. Ask yourselves.
All igbos must go back home in peace not in pieces igbos must stop forcing themselves staying in our domain igbos must bear their fathers names staying with us no be by force go home pls
My dear very soon they will leave hope when they start going you will not start saying biafrud.
.
Meaning?
The most foolish comment. This tribal agenda is dangerous. Is it only igbo people that live there.
If stupidity was a person
Because she his not in there shoes
You no
