I Never Claimed Ownership of The Car Lot – Ola of Lagos

Ola of Lagos has debunked allegations that he claimed ownership of the Skywise Group property that was recently demolished by the Lagos state government.
Clarifying the report, he stated that he only leased a section for his business operations.
He emphasized that the Lagos State Government carried out the demolition due to safety violations, not as a personal attack.
“I need to clear the confusion circulating on social media concerning the demolition of my car lot. I never claimed I was the owner of the Skywise Group property. I only leased a section for my business. The Lagos State Government demolished the building because some safety precautions were not taken, not that I was targeted,” Ola said.
The clarification comes after several individuals, including activist Deji Adeyanju, criticized him for allegedly attempting to claim property that was not his. Ola urged the public to verify facts before spreading rumors, stressing that the demolition was strictly a regulatory matter.

Demolished Lekki Property Doesn’t Belong To Ola Of Lagos — Firm

It has been revealed that the luxury car lot recently demolished along the Lekki-Epe Expressway in Lagos doesn’t belong to popular auto influencer, Ola of Lagos.
This is according to Nigerian company, Skyewise Group.
The clarification followed widespread social media claims suggesting that the facility, which was pulled down last Saturday, was owned by the influencer known for showcasing high-end automobiles online.
Videos of the demolition had sparked outrage, showing heavy-duty equipment flattening luxury car display stands along the busy Lekki corridor, a hub for automobile dealerships.
In a statement released on Monday, the Chief Executive Officer of Skyewise Group, Elvis Abuyere, described the demolition of the firm’s office as “unfortunate and saddening.”
Abuyere explained that the action was part of the Lagos State Government’s effort to create access routes for a new waterway development project.
 
“This unfortunate incident affected several car lots along the Lekki Expressway, starting from Phase 1, where the Skyewise Group office was located,” he said.
The CEO stressed that the demolished property was solely owned by Skyewise Group, noting that only a section of the premises had been leased to Ola of Lagos for car hire operations and luxury vehicle displays.
“All necessary building approvals, operational permits, dealership licenses, and environmental levies for the property were duly obtained from the Lagos State Government,” Abuyere added.
He further disclosed that the company would release copies of the relevant documents soon.
Despite the setback, Abuyere said Skyewise had already commenced plans to rebuild and establish a bigger and better facility in Lagos.
He thanked Nigerians for their support during the incident and expressed confidence that the company would “emerge stronger and better in no distant future.”
