Lagos State Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development served her the notice on Tuesday 14th November, 2017 alleging that the house was built without ‘planning permit’.
‘Erection of a structure (bungalow) without evidence of Lagos State Government planning permit,’ the notice read.
However, insiders disclosed to us that: “The law relied upon, the Urban and Regional Planning and Development Law was enacted on 5th July 2010. The property, a 3-bedroom bungalow was leased long before 2010 from the Federal Government and has been retained in the same form till date as no major alteration has been done on it.”
“It is preposterous to request for a building or planning permit from a leasee or tenant. The documents cannot be in her possession, they are the papers belong to the Federal Ministry of Works.”
