TALENTED female Nigerian singer, Yemi Alade has called out the Lagos State Government over the recent demolitions of houses in the Mende area of Maryland.
A video of demolition work was seen on the internet as LASG officials were seen bringing down a building for not having the necessary documents and obeying the construction rules and laws.
Yemi Alade, reacting to the news, accused the LASG of not giving enough time to the residents to evacuate the building, she said on X, "Send notices to the residents directly!
"Put it in the news! Showing up like santa clause and issuing 2hr notice is trauma unleashed for undeserving citizens. They are not the developer and yes the developer has also failed residents!"
"Why and how was the building APPROVED in the first place! @followlasg. Why and how was the building plan of Mende villa 1 approved in the first place! @followlasg. You have commissioned several building plans in conjunction with Legrande and gained the trust of many. Why dash it all with this one blow? 2hrs notice is trivial!" she added.
The Ministry's Commissioner, Tokunbo Wahab has debunked the claims that the residents were only given two hours' notice, stressing that they were duly warned in advance.
