» Lagos Government Demolishes Baba Ijebu's 4-Storey Building «

The Lagos State Government, yesterday, demolished a 4-
storey building owned by founder of Premier Lotto,
popularly known as “Baba Ijebu,” Sir Kessington Adebutu,
as part of the on-going exercise to address building
collapse. The building, which was located at No 6,
Campbell Street, Lagos Island was used as party
secretariat by the Action Congress, (now All progressives
Congress) and law firms, but was deserted 10 years ago
when the tenants discovered cracks on the wall. Baba Ijebu
is said to have bought the building a few years ago but
was still deliberating with his staff on how to restructure it.
The building was sealed by the Lagos State Building
Control Agency( LASBCA) twice to allow the owner embark
on Structural Stability Test(SST) before embarking on
manual demolition exercise which commenced on October
16th, 2015 and December 22, 2015.
