The Lagos State Government has said it has nothing to do with the planned demolition at a section of the Computer Village in Ikeja.
Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Gbenga Omotoso, in a statement described those trying to link the state government to the demolition exercise as “opportunistic ethnic chauvinists who will always relish in vacuous propaganda that can fuel their fiendish mission.”
He stated that the structure in question is owned by the Police Officers Wives Association (POWA) and that they are the ones that ordered the demolition, not the state government.
The statement titled: ‘Lagos Has No Hand in demolition of POWA Complex’ read: “Lagos State Government has nothing to do with the demolition at Computer Village in Ikeja. The structure is owned by the Police Officers Wives Association (POWA), which ordered its demolition.
“Those circulating the fake news that Lagos State Government is demolishing Computer Village are opportunistic ethnic chauvinists who will always relish in vacuous propaganda that can fuel their fiendish mission; they will always fail in dividing Lagosians.”
