Tuesday, August 12, 2025 - The Ogun State Government on Monday, August 11, sealed off
the residence and hotel of former governor Senator Gbenga Daniel in Sagamu,
ahead of a planned demolition.
The affected properties include Daniel’s residence,
popularly known as Asoludero Court, and the Conference Hotel, both located on
Obafemi Awolowo Avenue in the Government Reserved Area (GRA) of Sagamu.
According to reports, a quit and demolition notice was
served on the properties last Friday, sparking a war of words between Governor
Dapo Abiodun and Daniel, who currently represents Ogun East in the Senate.
In a notice issued by the Ogun State Planning and
Development Permit Authority, the government cited non-compliance with earlier
directives.
“Sequel to our previous Notice of Contravention, Notice to
Stop Work and Notice to Quit served on you/the development, to which you have
not responded, your development/property is hereby sealed off forthwith
preparatory for its demolition. Please note that the Authority will not be
liable for any loss suffered by you or claim for compensation whatsoever during
the period the property/development is under seal. You are warned not to break
the seal or tamper with it in any way whatsoever,” the notice read.
A separate “Notice of Demolition” ordered the removal of the
alleged contravention within three days of service, warning that failure to
comply would lead to demolition, with the cost recovered from the property
owner.
Both notices, dated August 11, 2025, were pasted on the
properties by officials from the agency’s Sagamu Zonal Office shortly after
Senator Daniel’s media team held a press conference addressing the dispute.
