House Owners Cry Out As Gov. Ibikunle Amosun Set To Demolish 6,000 Buildings In Akute

The Ogun State Government is set to demolish about 6,000 buildings in Akute, Baale Akin-Osi and OkeAro communities of the state in order to improve road networks and facilitate ongoing water expansion project from Akute-Odo to Adiyan Plant Station.

Houses that fall within 55 metres on the right of way of the proposed project have been earmarked for demolition and residents have been given seven days ultimatum to vacate the area to pave way for the demolition exercise. 

This development has raised protest from residents and house owners urging the government to reduce the margin to 20 metres. See more photos of  marked buildings after the cut
