Jejeloye further stated that the makeshift shanties by the roadside were also further demolished to ensure free vehicular movement along that route.
According to the Agency’s Director, Press and Public Affairs, Mr. Gbadeyan Abdulraheem,the Chairman warned all squatters and unscrupulous elements who try to call bluff of the Agencies activities to have a rethink and turn over a new leaf or risk being prosecuted.
CSP Jejelaye also appealed to road side traders in the area to move their wares to the designated market complex rather than defacing the streets and roads.
“Clearing of this area will be sustained for as long as it takes till we achieve our objective of creating a society that is safe and habitable for residents and Lagosians as a whole” Jejeloye concluded.
