Government over the planned demolition of his Music House, the
building which houses his radio station, Fresh FM Ibadan.
The state government had marked the structure located on the
Challenge-Toll Gate Road for demolition for allegedly contravening the
state's planning laws.
But, the owner, Ayefele on Thursday approached an Oyo State High Court
sitting in Ibadan seeking to stop the planned demolition.
Ayefele's counsel, Mr Olayinka Bolanle, in an exparte motion, filed
before the court, sought for an order of the court restraining the
state government from demolishing the property pending the
determination of the suit.
Bolanle also stated that due process was followed in the construction
of the structure while relevant approvals were obtained from the
state's departments and agencies associated with land and housing.
Justice I. Yerima, however, ordered the claimant to ensure service of
the court process on the respondent and adjourned the case till Monday
for the hearing of the ex-parte motion.
