Following sustained protests by some residents of Musari Apena Street in Mafoluku, Oshodi area of Lagos, over an alleged illegal hotel development, officials from the Lagos State Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development, yesterday, sealed the controversial facility pending further investigation.
The enforcement action, carried out under close observation, came days after the residents submitted a formal petition highlighting their grievances over the conversion of the once residential apartment to a hotel.
The aggrieved residents alleged zoning violations, unregulated construction, noise pollution, poor waste management, and worsening traffic congestion in the area as a result of the hotel project. (Vanguard)
