The sealing and demolition notices bore the same date and were pasted at the same time.

The sealing notice dated August 11, 2025 with S/No 000 47312 reads, “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 forth with 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”.

While the Demolition notices dated August 11, 2025 with S/No 00048262 reads, “Following the Notice of Contravention, Notice to Stop Work, Notice to Quit, and Notice of Sealing served on your property/development at the above address/location, you are hereby ordered to remove the contravention within 3 (three) days of the service of this notice on you/development.

“Take notice that if the said contravention is not removed within the time specified above, the said contravention shall be demolished and the cost of such demolition recovered from you”.

Recall that the former Governor had accused Dapo Abiodun of using the Ogun State Urban and Regional Planning and Development Law No. 61 of 2022 to demolish his buildings that were legally constructed before the law came into existence.

Daniel insisted that move by the present administration is not only politically motivated but also a blatant disregard for due process and rule of law.

Following series of traffic accidents that have raised concerns about public safety, the Ogun State Ministry of Justice has announced plans to prosecute TikTok content creator, Ademola Abiodun, popularly known as DJ Chicken.

The action comes after Abiodun allegedly crashed into two motorcycles in Sagamu, Ogun State, on November 1, 2025, critically injuring a rider and a female passenger.

The government in a statement, Monday, on its official X handle, said witnesses reported that Abiodun tried to flee the scene before being stopped by onlookers.

According to the ministry, DJ Chicken was involved in another crash on Sunday in Lekki, Lagos State, narrowly escaping pedestrians, making it the third in three months.

Part of the statement reads, “Mr Abiodun’s heedless return to the wheel with no greater care just three weeks after makes it imperative that the state must intervene to protect the public – especially as there is an organic outcry against his continued driving.

“While it may be reasonable to allow crash victims to get compensation from persons who have driven recklessly and to resolve road traffic collisions as a civil wrong, some road users are special dangers to society and should be held to account under criminal law,” it said.

Panic In Delta Female School Over False Herdsmen Attack

Published

on

Fear gripped Kwale, headquarters of Ndokwa West Local Government Area of Delta State, on Monday, as students of Otagba-Ogbe Girls Secondary School fled their classrooms following fears of an alleged herdsmen attack.

The panic reportedly began when students sighted two herdsmen entering the school premises from the rear, prompting a stampede as they ran out of their classrooms, triggering widespread alarm across the community.

A community source said the fear was rooted in earlier rumours circulating over the weekend that herdsmen were seen around the school’s surroundings.

Everyone is on alert. The truth is that there were rumours that some herdsmen were spotted near the school on Saturday,

The source said. “Today, as they were learning, two herdsmen entered the school compound from the back.
“Whether they were looking for their cattle, I don’t know.

“There had been information that an attack could happen at any moment due to issues between the herdsmen and the host community.”

The situation quickly escalated as parents trooped to the school to retrieve their children, and online platforms amplified claims of an imminent attack and alleged gunshots — none of which were verified.

But in a swift response, the Delta State Police Command dismissed it as false and misleading, saying it is capable of inciting unnecessary chaos.

“Interviews with the Vice Principal and the security guard on duty confirmed that no attack occurred. Police said the entire disturbance was triggered by misinformation and students’ fear.

“As part of precautionary checks, adjoining schools in the Kwale axis were also visited by security operatives, who found them calm, safe, and fully engaged in normal academic activities.”

“Parents who rushed to the school were urged to remain calm as authorities confirmed that stability had been restored.”
