The Oyo State Government has demolished some structures marked as illegal at Omololu Olunloyo GRA, Ring Road, Adeoyo in Ibadan.
The Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Land, Housing and Urban Development, Mofoluke Adebiyi led the team during the exercise on Thursday.
Adebiyi said the exercise was to restore sanity to the land use management, urban and physical planning and development of the state.
She informed that the land on which the demolished property was situated, was acquired by the government of the western region for the construction of Adeoyo Hospital Ring Road and other uses.
Adebiyi said insisted that the traditional owners of the land were duly compensated during the period, saying, “Historically, this place was acquired by the government of western region for Adeoyo State Hospital, part of it is for GRA, and traditional owners were compensated duly.
“Successive administrations have sounded notes of warning but people thought the government was joking, so we decided to move around today and act accordingly”.
