It seems that the wave for demolition of illegal housing structures is not happening in Kenya only. It has spread from Nairobi to Ibadan (Oyo State). Last night the Oyo State government embarked on demolishing a building which houses Yinka Atefele Music House and Fresh FM 105.9.
This is so unfortunate for the physically-challenged but successful and popular Nigerian musician. This bomoa bomoa (demolitions) fever has spread like wildfire across Ibadan. The Oyo State authorities reported that the owners of Music House building were ” deviating from the original physical planning approval from the state Bureau of Physical Planning…”
A great difference between demolitions in Nigeria and Kenya is that in Ibadan it seems they prefer demolishing houses at night if the video shared by a twitter user @oladayo29 is to go by. This is so unfortunate.
Yinka Atefele came out with his guns blazing and told the media that he was being targeted because he was not on the side of his oppressor and he sang against them in his music.
Ayefele was born in Ekiti State southwestern Nigeria and hails from Ipoti, a city in Ekiti State southwestern Nigeria. He attended Our Saviours Anglican Primary School in Ipoti-Ekiti for his primary and secondary education before he later proceeded to Ondo State College of Arts and Science in Ikare Akoko, Ondo State, Nigeria.- Yinka Ayefele Music YouTube channel.
