Senator Ikpea petitions Senate over Lagos property demolition

Senator Joseph Ikpea, representing Edo Central under the All Progressives Congress (APC), has submitted a petition to the Senate concerning the alleged demolition of a property owned by Mr. Marcel Imoisili in Ikoyi, Lagos. The demolition was reportedly carried out by the Lagos State Government and its Task Force without prior notice to Imoisili, who possesses a valid certificate of occupancy for the property.

Ikpea characterized the demolition as an injustice and called for Senate intervention to address the issue. He informed the Senate that the matter has not been taken to court and requested permission to refer the petition to the Senate Committee on Ethics for further consideration.

Senate President Godswill Akpabio (Akwa Ibom North) granted Ikpea the permission to proceed with the referral during the plenary session held on Tuesday.
