A property owner, Chief Reuben Olowookere, has accused the Lagos State Government of violating a court order in the demolition of the Maryland, Lagos outlet of Mr. Biggs.
According to Olowookere, who said he leased the land on which Mr. Biggsâs was built to Mobil Oil Nigeria Plc (now 11 Plc), added that a Lagos High Court, presided over by Justice Olaide Olayinka, had on June 1, 2018 granted an interlocutory injunction that the status quo to preserve the property from demolition be maintained pending the determination of the substantive suit.
Olowookere in a statement dated December 12, 2020, said his solicitors sent letters on November 20 and 26, 2020 to the Attorney General of Lagos State and the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Physical Planning respectively reminding the state government of the court order, which were ignored to execute the demolition.
