Lagos state denies role in FESTAC demolitions

The Lagos State Government is flat-out denying any involvement in the shocking demolitions in FESTAC Town. Officials are scrambling to distance themselves from the wreckage, claiming the destruction was unauthorized by the state. The Commissioner for Physical Planning, Oluyinka Olumide, insists this wasn’t the government’s doing, despite bulldozers reducing over 15 buildings to rubble. The Commissioner’s desperate spin? Any demolition that happens without approval isn’t the government’s fault—and if it didn’t have clearance, it’s certainly not the practice of this administration.
