Two churches were among the buildings sealed. One of them is the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, and a Cherubim and Seraphim Church on Bamgbose Street in the area.
In one of the areas, eight buildings were shut because their owners did not have building permits and other required documents. Buildings were also shut at Kosebinu Orepekun Street, Market Street, Ogolonto, among others.
According to Kosegbe, the government team was in the area on enforcement and sensitization to let the people know the reason why they must build right in view of incessant collapsed buildings being experienced in some parts of the state.
She said developers could not erect any building without informing LASBCA, saying that was the reason government officers were shutting down structures.
