In
the suit filed before Justice Deborah Oluwayemi of a Lagos High Court,
Tafawa Balewa Square, Pastor Ayo and the Incorporated Trustees of his
church asked the court for an order of interlocutory injunction,
restraining the state government from demolishing, destroying,
dispossessing or forcibly ejecting the church from the property.
According to court papers obtained by The Nation, Pastor Ayo alleged that after applying for a building plan approval from the state government and
it was not forth coming within the regular period, he made due enquires
personally by writing several letters and holding meetings with the
former and present governors, Bola Tinubu and Fashola respectively but
his efforts yielded no results.
He stated in the court papers that
in March 2013, he received a letter from the state government,
directing him and his church board to submit some certain documents to
facilitate the process of the approval of the building plan which him
and his board complied with. He said while
him and his church board was still awaiting the building plan approval
in order to continue with their church building, they suddenly
discovered that the state government had pasted a certain contravention
notice dated January 20 on its fence.
He prayed the court to halt any planned action by the state government to demolish or eject them from their property.
