Fashola To Demolish Adeniji Adele Estate

Residents of Adeniji Adele estate on Lagos Island may soon be homeless as their entire neighbourhood has been declared a danger zone, owing to its swampy terrain and old rickety buildings.

The Governor of Lagos state, Mr Babatunde Fashola, who made the pronouncement on Sunday, while inspecting the area, however promised that alternative arrangements would be made for their accommodation.

According to the governor, after the existing structures are demolished, durable houses would be rebuilt for the occupants and lawful flat owners will be returned.

He explained that the measure was to prevent further incidents of rampant building collapse in the state.
