Ogun State officials have sealed off properties owned by ex-governor Gbenga Daniel, citing breaches of urban planning laws.
The Ogun State Government on Monday sealed Asoludero Court, the Conference Hotels, and its annex in Sagamu GRA, owned by former governor and senator representing Ogun East, Otunba Gbenga Daniel.
The action followed a quit notice issued last Friday, citing breaches of the Ogun State Urban and Regional Planning and Development Law No. 61 of 2022. Officials of the Ogun State Planning and Development Permit Authority pasted fresh “Sealing” and “Demolition” notices on the gates and walls, ordering relevant planning permits within 24 hours and removal of contraventions within three days.
The sealing notice warned against tampering with the seal, while the demolition notice said costs would be recovered from the owner.
Daniel accused Governor Dapo Abiodun’s administration of “politically motivated” action and “blatant disregard for due process,” insisting his buildings were legally constructed before the law came into effect.
