Residents, shop owners were asked not to panic as security men paraded a road on Wednesday at the Ugbor-Amagba axis of Oredo Local Government Area in Edo State while demolishing T. Latifa Hotel owned by Mr. Tony Adun also known as Kabaka.
The hotel was pulled down by the Edo State Government because the owner had violated building laws as the structure sits across the road.
This happened after an injunction secured by Mr. Adun against the exercise was vacated by the state government.

The government penciled the structure for demolition, as it was illegal, without an approved building plan for a hotel and sitting across a road.
The deed of transfer being paraded by Mr. Adun is also not registered with the state government, according to court papers filed by Solicitor General of Edo State, Oluwole Iyamu SAN.
Bulldozers and caterpillars were mobilized to the site for the exercise while security operatives mounted guard to ensure the process was not disrupted by thugs in the area loyal to Mr. Adun.
