On Wednesday, Edo Government began the demolition of Tony Kabaka’s hotel.
Bulldozers and security personnel were mobilized to the hotel at about 12 noon and began the demolition.
It was part of the state government’s commitment to remove all illegal structures built on government property.
Other properties are also scheduled to be demolished, they include: public schools and waterways as well as roof eave-extensions and structures erected on the right of way of roads/streets, moats, river banks, TCN high tension lines, among others in Benin City and other major settlements in the state.
The Edo State Government had in October last year, through the Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development, issued a seven-day notice to Tony Adun to remove his T. Latifah Hotel and Suites, located at the Ugbor axis of the State capital.
During that period, Tony Kabaka then came out to dare Godwin Obaseki to demolish his Hotel within the 7 days.
