On September 25, 2025, the Lagos State Government began demolishing 19 structures at the Trade Fair Complex in Ojo, citing violations of urban planning laws, including construction without permits, on road setbacks and drainages, and defective designs.
The operation, carried out by multiple agencies and security forces, aimed to prevent flooding, reduce traffic congestion, and restore order in the rapidly growing city.
While officials emphasized the need to enforce regulations and ensure public safety, many traders expressed outrage over the lack of prior notice, claiming significant financial losses and asserting they had valid approvals.
The government paused the demolition to meet with affected business leaders, highlighting ongoing tensions between urban development enforcement and protection of livelihoods.
