Ogun govt seals Gbenga Daniel’s residence, hotel ahead of demolition

The Ogun State Government on Monday sealed off the residence and hotel belonging to former governor, Senator Gbenga Daniel, in Sagamu, ahead of a planned demolition.

The affected properties include Daniel’s residence, popularly known as Asoludero Court, and the Conference Hotel, both situated on Obafemi Awolowo Avenue in the GRA area of Sagamu.

Platinumpost reports that a quit and demolition notice was served on the properties last Friday. The move has since sparked a heated exchange between Governor Dapo Abiodun and Senator Daniel, who currently represents Ogun East Senatorial District.
