Sanwo-Olu orders demolition of 3 buildings on Banana Island

Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State has ordered the demolition of three two-storey buildings in Banana Island following the collapse of a seven-storey building in the area.

Also at 306 Close, the governor ordered the removal of two-storey buildings adjacent to each other because they were constructed under the powerline and under water. According to him, the incident shows that the Lagos State building officers are not alive to their responsibilities, saying officers found culpable will also be sanctioned.

“I think that the exercise we are doing today is not really just about this location. You have all seen the extent of what I will call unapproved extension into the water, at the back of each of the land that is abutting water. The governor said that an external seven-member committee had been set up with two weeks mandate to independently ascertain what had gone wrong.
