The federal government says demolition of structures within the first three kilometres of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway will begin on Saturday, April 27.

The federal controller of works in Lagos, Keisha Korede, disclosed this at a news conference on Thursday in Lagos.

She said the structures to be demolished would be those within the designated right of way for the project.

Ms Korede urged property owners who received demolition notices and have concerns to visit the Federal Ministry of Works secretariat from today, Thursday, April 25, until tomorrow, Friday, April 26, to discuss their concerns.

She said, “Thereafter, the demolition squad will move to action by Saturday morning for the first three kilometres.

“For the first three kilometres, anything within the right of way of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway will be dropped down from Saturday morning.

“So, I want to use this medium to reach out to as many as we cannot put calls across to, that this will go a long way to let them know that their issues will be sorted out between today and tomorrow.

“Especially if you are within zero to three kilometres of the projects and you have been marked. You have been identified as standing in the right of way of the project corridors.”

The 700km Lagos-Calabar coastal highway project is designed to connect Lagos to Cross River, passing through the coastal states of Ogun, Ondo, Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers, and Akwa Ibom, before culminating in Cross River.

The 700 km Lagos-Calabar coastal road will cost N15 trillion to construct, and each kilometre will cost N4 billion.

A Magistrate Court sitting in Abuja has ordered the arrest and detention of Reno Omokri, a former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, in connection with allegations of defamation against Dunamis Church Pastor Paul Enenche.

The court’s decision, issued on January 13, 2025, also applies to former Dunamis Church Pastor Abraham Daniel and two individuals identified as Alexander Enenche and Peter Enenche.

The remand order was granted following an ex-parte motion filed by the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun.

The motion requested the detention of the accused individuals to facilitate ongoing investigations.

Presiding over the case, Chief Magistrate Emmanuel Iyanna directed that the respondents be detained until their arraignment and prosecution.

The court scheduled their next appearance for January 30, 2025.

The legal battle traces back to a petition filed by Senior Advocate of Nigeria Patrick O. Okolo.

The petition accused Reno Omokri, along with others, of cyberbullying, criminal defamation, spreading false information, and inciting public unrest.

Reports indicate that these accusations stem from disagreements following Pastor Abraham Daniel’s resignation from Dunamis Church.

Sources revealed that Pastor Daniel left the church after over a decade of service due to conflicts with Pastor Paul Enenche.

Following his resignation, Daniel reportedly faced threats through calls and social media.

Allegedly, these incidents culminated in a car accident, after which plainclothes officers arrested him on Pastor Enenche’s orders.

Pastor Daniel claimed he was pressured to apologize to Pastor Enenche and delete his social media posts about the church.

Despite complying, a purported gentleman’s agreement to compensate Daniel for his losses was reportedly breached, further straining relations.

The police are also investigating allegations involving Omokri, including social media posts about church matters.

The accused individuals are expected to face trial after the conclusion of the investigation.
