In a statement shared via his official channels, Wahab highlighted the presence of numerous undocumented residents residing in the property, which lacks adequate sanitary facilities. He emphasized the potential security and environmental risks posed by their presence, thus justifying the eviction notice.

Consequently, Wahab announced that the Ministry of Environment and Water Resources has provided the unauthorized occupants with a 48-hour ultimatum to vacate the premises.

He wrote, “Abandoned Ikoyi Towers which we observed were housing illegal occupants posing a security threat to the environment and a nuisance to the state.

“An undocumented number of persons running into hundreds were seen on the premises with no sanitary provisions and whose daily activities could not be ascertained.

“They have been given a 48-hour vacation notice to leave the area.”
