The shopping complex belonging to the Police Officers Wives Association in Ikeja, Lagos State is to be pulled down due to a looming environmental hazard.
The Force Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, who disclosed this in a statement on Saturday, said the “site is prone to flooding and may be susceptible to sudden collapse, hence the need for immediate landscaping and reconstruction.”
He said the NPF had been inundated with inquiries concerning the planned demolition of the POWA Shopping Complex in Ikeja, hence “It has become imperative to properly establish that the complex, a property of the Nigeria Police Officer’s Wives Association, which is officially allocated to wives of police officers and their relatives, has been scheduled for demolition.
“This is to enable the Force to commence immediate construction of a modern shopping complex on the same land.”
He said the demolition and reconstruction of the complex was “predicated on the fact that professional opinion indicates that the structure as it is constituting a looming environmental hazard.”
The FPRO said the planned demolition and reconstruction will be in phases, adding that it is in good faith for the betterment of all concerned.
