The Lagos State Government has issued an urgent directive for the immediate demolition of the dilapidated Block 3 section of the Mopol 20 Barracks in Onigbongbo, Ikeja.

Citing imminent collapse, the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) conducted an assessment of the structure, revealing precarious conditions.

“The building’s condition poses a significant threat to life and property,” said Damilola Oke-Osanyintolu, LASEMA’s Permanent Secretary.

“The agency dispatched a response team to the location and the findings indicate that the building and those adjacent must be evacuated with immediate effect.

“We are conducting a response plan which comprises an assessment, safe and orderly evacuation and controlled demolition.

“Under the watchful eye of the Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu administration, we will be carrying out this preemptive demolition action due to the precarious conditions of the building and possible secondary incidents that could occur if left unmanaged,” the statement partly read.

Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s administration prioritizes public safety, taking proactive measures to address potential disasters.

Residents are advised to cooperate with authorities during the evacuation and demolition process.
