Senator Joseph Ikpea from Edo Central has brought a petition to the Senate. He is concerned about the demolition of a property owned by Marcel Imoisili. This demolition was allegedly carried out by the Lagos State Government and its task force.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria, Mr Imoisili is part of Senator Ikpea's district. He lives in Edo Central and is a constituent of the senator.
During the Senate session on Tuesday, Senator Ikpea claimed that the property in Ikoyi, Lagos, was destroyed without any notice to the owner. He stated that Mr Imoisili has a valid Certificate of Occupancy for the property.
Senator Ikpea called this act an injustice. He urged the Senate to step in and help resolve the issue. He wants to ensure that the matter is properly addressed.
He also mentioned that the case has not been taken to court yet. After presenting his concerns, he asked the Senate for permission to send the petition to the Committee on Ethics for further review.
Senate President Godswill Akpabio agreed and allowed him to refer the petition to the committee.
