By Olasunkanmi Akoni and Monsuru Olowoopejo
The state government, through the Lagos State Building Control Agency, LASBCA, began the demolition on the order of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode. At 34, Seriki Street, another defective three-storey building was pulled down by LASBCA officials, while at 21, Okediji Street, a three-storey building was also demolished.
Fakoluyu disclosed that lots of buildings on the Island had been marked for demolition, but that some of them were subject of litigation which prevented government from going ahead to pull them down immediately. “After she was confirmed dead, we had to bury her immediately. Her mother is still in shock. But we thank God for sparing our eldest daughter, Rukiat. We didn’t know that the building had been marked for demolition by Lagos State government . If we had known, we would not have enlisted our children in the school. We were impressed with the quality of learning in the school before we enlisted them in the school.
