The Lagos State Government has ordered a full-scale investigation into the controversial demolition of a property reportedly owned by the brother of Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi.
The move comes in response to allegations by Obi, who accused the state government of being complicit in the demolition exercise.
In a statement issued on Thursday, Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Gbenga Omotoso, denied the government’s involvement and described Obi’s claims as “unverified and baseless.”
“The Lagos State Government is compelled to address the recent allegations made by Mr. Peter Obi regarding the demolition of a property belonging to his brother,” the statement read. (Vanguard)
