PETER OBI: LAGOS GOVT DENIES INVOLVEMENT IN DEMOLITION OF BROTHER'S PROPERTY.

The Lagos State Government has denied involvement in the demolition of a building allegedly owned by the younger brother of Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi. 

The government, in a statement issued by the Commissioner for Information, Gbenga Omotoso, said that neither the Lagos State Building Control Agency (LASBCA) nor any other agency was involved in the demolition.

Obi had raised concerns on social media, claiming that the structure was demolished without due legal process, alleging that a group arrived at the premises with a court order listing "person unknown" as the defendant.

Describing Obi's account as "disturbing and without facts", the state government denied the allegation and assured the public that it will continue to maintain law and order in the state. 

The government also directed the agency to launch a full investigation into the matter and urged the public to treat Obi's remarks with caution.
