Speaking on behalf of the residents, Adewale Adelaide said Trademore is not a disaster zone but a “disaster in leadership” of the FCTA which he said has failed to address persistent flooding in the area. He said instead of tackling the flooding headlong, FCTA wants to adopt a “lazy engineering approach” by demolishing buildings.
Adelaide said occupants of the estate will resist the demolition of buildings in the area with “all they have”.He said there is a court order prohibiting the demolition of buildings in the estate, adding that no action should be taken until the case is determined.
