Labour Party presidential candidate in the 2023 elections, Peter Obi, has alleged that a property belonging to his younger brother was demolished in Lagos without legal backing.

Obi, who disclosed the incident via a post on his verified X handle on Tuesday, said the property, owned by his brother’s company, had stood for over 15 years before it was brought down.

He alleged that the demolition was carried out by unidentified persons acting on a vague court judgment that did not mention his brother, the property, or contain any demolition order.

He said, “This morning, my youngest brother called me frantically, informing me that a group of people had invaded his company property in Ikeja, Lagos, and were demolishing the building.

“He had just come in from Port Harcourt and was denied entry to the property by security men who told him the building was being pulled down.”

Obi said he flew in from Abuja to witness the scene first hand.

On arrival, he was reportedly barred from entering the premises and was told that the demolition was being carried out pursuant to a court order.

However, according to Obi, the supposed judgment was addressed to unnamed squatters and did not include any demolition order or authorising documentation.

“How do you sue an unknown person? How does a court issue a judgment in such a farce of a case? No one was served. No name was written.

“Yet they showed up with excavators and began destroying a structure that had stood for over 15 years,” he said

The incident underscores growing concerns over arbitrary actions and a lack of accountability by state actors and private enforcers.

Obi described the entire episode as “coordinated lawlessness,” lamenting what he sees as Nigeria’s descent into a state of impunity.

“I stood there from 10 am to 2 pm, waiting to get a call from whoever ordered the demolition. Nobody came. The contractor didn’t even know who sent him.

“Two men later came and said they would like us to go to a police station. I asked if they even had a demolition order but they had nothing. The whole situation screamed of coordinated lawlessness and impunity. Our country has become lawless,” he said.

Obi used the opportunity to reflect on broader implications for business and investment in Nigeria, citing a recent conversation with an investor who shunned the country due to its “lawless” reputation.

Obi added, “This is not about me or my brother—it’s about what ordinary Nigerians go through every day.

“If this can happen to someone with a registered company and legitimate ownership, what hope does the average citizen have?”

He reiterated his commitment to building a new Nigeria “where lawlessness will be a thing of the past, and protection of life, property, and civil rights are guaranteed.”

As of press time, no government agency had claimed responsibility for the demolition, and no official explanation had been given.
