Media personality Ola of Lagos has denied ownership of the Skywise Group property, which was recently demolished by the Lagos State Government.
In a video, he clarified that he merely leased a portion of the property to operate his car business and never asserted ownership, contrary to circulating rumors.
Addressing the controversy, Ola explained that the demolition was carried out by the Lagos State Government due to safety violations identified at the property.
He emphasised that the action was not a targeted move against him or his business but a regulatory measure to enforce compliance with safety standards.
“I need to clear the confusion circulating on social media concerning the demolition of my car lot. I never claimed I was the owner of the Skywise Group property. I only leased a section for my business. The Lagos State Government demolished the building because some safety precautions were not taken, not that I was targeted,” Ola stated.
The clarification comes in response to criticism from several individuals, including activist Deji Adeyanju, who accused Ola of attempting to claim ownership of a property that did not belong to him.
The allegations sparked discussions on social media, prompting Ola to urge the public to verify facts before spreading unverified information.
He stressed that the demolition was strictly a matter of regulatory enforcement and not a personal vendetta.
