Media personality and car dealer Ola of Lagos has refuted claims that he owned the Skywise Group property recently demolished by the Lagos State Government.
In a video message shared online, Ola clarified that he only leased a section of the property for his car business and never claimed ownership, countering widespread rumours circulating on social media.
According to him, the demolition was carried out by the state government after safety and structural violations were discovered at the site, not as a targeted action against him or his enterprise.
“I want to clear the air about the demolition of my car lot. I never owned the Skywise Group property, I only rented a portion to run my business. The Lagos State Government acted because some safety measures were not followed, not because of any personal issue with me,” Ola explained.
His statement comes amid criticism from social commentators, including activist Deji Adeyanju, who had accused him of falsely presenting himself as the property owner.
The controversy quickly spread across social media, prompting Ola to urge Nigerians to verify information before sharing unconfirmed claims.
He emphasized that the demolition was strictly a regulatory enforcement action and reassured that his business remains committed to operating within the law.
