Senator Joseph Ikpea (APC-Edo Central) has petitioned the Senate over the alleged demolition of his constituent Marcel Imoisili’s property by the Lagos State Government and its task force.
Imoisili hails from Edo Central Senatorial District, which Ikpea represents.
Presenting the petition during plenary on Tuesday, Ikpea alleged that the property, located in Ikoyi, Lagos, was demolished without prior notice to the owner despite his possession of a valid Certificate of Occupancy (C of O).
He described the alleged demolition as an injustice and urged the Senate to intervene to ensure that the matter was addressed.
The lawmaker informed the Senate that the matter had not been taken to court and sought permission to refer the petition to its Committee on Ethics for consideration.
Senate President Godswill Akpabio granted the request.
