LASG Gives Computer Village Traders 24 Hours Notice To Vacate Property Ahead Of Planned Demolition

The Lagos State Government has served a 24-hour quit notice on all the traders at the Police Officers Wives Association (POWA) shopping complex in Computer Village in Ikeja.

The vacation order notices have been pasted on shops at the complex by the Lagos task force.

It was learnt that the government gave the quit notice because the POWA Phase I and II had become dilapidated, defaced, and distressed.

The traders claim that the demolition plan was proposed by Achieving Greatness Limited to the National President of POWA and the National Market Leader.

The affected traders told journalists that there was a court order stopping the planned demolition.

“We might stage a peaceful protest to register their displeasure,” one of them said.

Some traders at the shopping complex on December 20, protested against the move by the government to demolish the complex.

Occupants alleged that the wife of the Inspector-General of Police, Elizabeth Egbetokun, purportedly gave the directive for the demolition of the property.
