Tears as Yinka Ayefele's Love Fm is being demolished in Oyo state
The Oyo State government has demolished a property belonging to popular singer,
Yinka Ayefele.
.
Despite the protests by staff and fans of Yinka Ayefele, the property which is
estimated at over N800m and houses the popular Fresh FM and Ayefele's music
studio in Ibadan was demolished in the early hours of Sunday, 19 August 2018.
The state government had marked the structure located on the Challenge-Toll Gate
road for demolition for allegedly contravening the state ’s planning laws.
.
''Having failed to comply with the earlier stop work/quit/ contravention notice
(s) served on your development or as your structure is found to be structurally
defective/poses danger or constitutes a nuisance to the occupier or the
general public, you are hereby ordered to vacate the site and remove the
structure thereon within three days, failure of which the government shall effect
the removal and commence legal action against you in accordance with
Section 43 of the law.”the notice to Ayefele readread
.
They were sent a motion on notice earlier in the week that read:
“an order of interlocutory injunction restraining the defendants/respondents
whether by themselves, their servants, agents, privies or any person acting
pursuant to the instruction of the defendants/respondents from demolishing or
attempting to demolish the property of the claimants/applicants lying, being
and situate at Plot 11A and 11B along link Ring Road, Lagos-Ibadan
Expressway, Ibadan, Oyo State, or in any manner proceeding to enforce the
notice of demolition dated August 13, 2018 with reference No.
TF20181308/002, issued by the defendants/respondents pending the
determination of the substantive suit already filed.”
.
In an interview with Punch a few days back, Ayefele said that the demolition of the
edifice is politically motivated;
.
“If they demolish the Music House, it means they don’t have respect for the
rule of law. The commissioner for information had told us to change some of
our analysts because they are too harsh on the government but that is against
the ethics of our profession in this radio station. The commissioner for
information and culture said this about two months ago before all these
started; so we were not shocked when the commissioner started making this
move against us. We were ready for the attack but we didn’t know the angle
they would hit us from ”.
