Widow seeks governor, lawmakers’ intervention over Jakande estate apartment demolition.
A Widow, Mrs. Elizabeth Adetoun Ajibola, who lost her husband, Major Olatokunbo Mohammed Ajibola, on September 26, 1992, in the ill-fated military plane crash in Ejigbo, Lagos, has appealed to the Lagos State Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu and the state House of Assembly to help correct the injustice being done to them (she and the two).
According to Ajibola, her late husband was among the military officers who died in the mishap that occurred in the ill-fated September 26, 1992 C-130 military aircraft crash at Ejigbo, Lagos State.
As a result of the incident, she was left to raise two sons, but while pondering how to navigate the burden, Lagos State government came to her aid like other widows through the allocation of a three-bedroom flat at LMB Estate, Isolo, Block 1, flat 4, otherwise known as Jakande LSPDC Estate, Isolo, Lagos.
“This help cannot be quantified, as it solved the immediate issue of shelter,” she said. åWith this provision of a roof over their heads, she added, “my children and I will remain forever grateful to the Lagos State government.”
Fate, however, dealt the family another blow, when sometime in December 2012, the allocated premises had to be demolished owing to structural defects discovered in some of the surrounding buildings, leading to the later demolition of their building around this period.
“While some widows brought together by the same fate were lucky, and were paid the princely sum of N200,000, and additionally got new allocations, my children and I strangely were not considered, because my flat was in a different building.”
Ajibola disclosed that several efforts to get the error corrected did not yield result including appeals and letters written to past governors such as Babatunde Fashola and Akinwumi Ambode, taken up pro-bono by different lawyers at different times between 2012 till date have not yielded result.
She added that letters were also written to the Lagos State Development and Property Corporation and the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency, but none of the agencies followed through to ensure that the omission was corrected.
