The President of the Christian Association of Nigeria, Pastor Ayo
Oritsejafor,
has instituted a law suit against Lagos state Governor, Babatunde Fashola
over the state government’s plan to demolish the Lagos branch of his
church,
Word of Life Bible Church, situated on Plot 21E, Abdulrahman Okene Close,
off
Ligali Ayorinde Street Victoria Island Annex.

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.

Unfortunately, we are not told why they want to demolish the building as I do not think it was only because he did not get the plan approved before the structure was erected.
