The Oyo State Government on Thursday demolished structures housing unauthorized diesel marketers along the Lagos-Ibadan expressway.

Led by the Commissioner for Environment and Natural Resources, Abdulmojeed Mogbonjubola, the demolition exercise targeted buildings and stalls selling adulterated diesel products in defiance of repeated warnings from the state government.

Mogbonjubola condemned the persistent sale of substandard diesel products at unauthorized locations, posing a significant risk to public health and safety. He warned those involved in the illegal business to desist immediately, as the government would no longer tolerate such activities.

The demolition exercise marks a decisive step by the Oyo State Government to enforce environmental regulations, protect citizens’ health, and maintain order along the busy expressway.

“We have visited this place on many occasions to warn you to halt this illegal trading of the products along this axis, but you refused.

“Henceforth, illegal buying or selling of diesel on this corridor should stop; otherwise, erring individuals will face the wrath of the law,” the commissioner warned.
