Edo demolishes Oshiomhole’s ally hotel in Edo

The Edo state government has demolished T. Latifa Hotel owned by Tony Adun also known as ‘Kabaka’ for violating building laws as the structure sits across a road in the Ugbor-Amagba axis of Oredo Local Government Area of the state.

The hotel building was reduced to rubble on Wednesday afternoon, after an injunction secured by Adun against the exercise was vacated by the state government.

The government pencilled the structure for demolition as it was illegal, without an approved building plan for a hotel and for sitting across a road.

The deed of transfer being paraded by Adun was also not registered with the state government, according to court papers filed by the Solicitor General of Edo state, Oluwole Iyamu (SAN).

Bulldozers and caterpillars were mobilized to the site for the exercise while security operatives mounted guard to ensure the process was not disrupted by thugs loyal to Adun.

The leader of the security team cordoned off the area and urged residents and shop owners around the area not to panic while the exercise lasted.
