The Ogun State government on Monday, sealed off Asoludero Court, the Conference Hotels, and its annex in the Sagamu Government Reserved Area, belonging to the former governor and senator representing Ogun East Senatorial District at the National Assembly, Otunba Gbenga Daniel.
According to report, the seal off followed a notice to quit issued to the management of the properties barely three days ago.
According to the notice issued on Friday, the buildings contravened the Ogun State Urban and Regional Planning and Development Law No. 61 of 2022 and its subsidiary regulations.
The notice ordered the owners or occupants to produce all relevant planning permits within 24 hours or face demolition.
Report indicates that officials of the Ogun State Planning and Development Permit Authority, Sagamu Zonal Office, stormed the premises at about mid-morning, pasting fresh “Sealing” and “Demolition” notices on the gates and walls of the multi-billion-naira facilities.
The sealing and demolition notices bore the same date and were pasted at the same time.
The sealing notice dated August 11, 2025 with S/No 000 47312 reads, “Sequel to our previous Notice of Contravention, Notice to stop work and Notice to Quit served on you/the development, to which you have not responded, your development/property is hereby sealed off forth with preparatory for its demolition.
“Please note that the Authority will not be liable for any loss suffered by you or claim for compensation whatsoever during the period the property/development is under seal.
“You are warned not to break the seal or tamper with it in any way whatsoever”.
While the Demolition notices dated August 11, 2025 with S/No 00048262 reads, “Following the Notice of Contravention, Notice to Stop Work, Notice to Quit, and Notice of Sealing served on your property/development at the above address/location, you are hereby ordered to remove the contravention within 3 (three) days of the service of this notice on you/development.
“Take notice that if the said contravention is not removed within the time specified above, the said contravention shall be demolished and the cost of such demolition recovered from you”.
Recall that the former Governor had accused Dapo Abiodun of using the Ogun State Urban and Regional Planning and Development Law No. 61 of 2022 to demolish his buildings that were legally constructed before the law came into existence.
Daniel insisted that move by the present administration is not only politically motivated but also a blatant disregard for due process and rule of law.
