Hundreds of residents of Ibadan, Oyo State capital, have appealed to Governor Seyi Makinde to stop ongoing demolition of houses within the Ibadan Circular Road corridor.
The residents made the appeal during the second day of the protest against the ongoing demolition of houses in the city.
DAILY POST reports that hundreds of residents whose houses were either demolished or about to be demolished have been protesting at the Oyo State Government Secretariat at Agodi since Wednesday.
Our correspondent learnt that many houses have been demolished as a result of the ongoing construction of the Ibadan Circular Road.
DAILY POST gathered that scores of residents were stranded when the government began the demolition of the houses early this year.
DAILY POST reports that the residents on Thursday stormed the secretariat to appeal to the governor to stop the demolition.
The residents who carried placards and banners with various inscriptions noted that they used their hard-earned money to build the houses.
A resident who identified himself as Kolawole, said that many people have been in panic mood since the demolition started.
He added that many families have been affected as a result of the ongoing demolition.
“We want the governor to stop the demolition of our houses. Many houses on the corridor have been demolished and they said that they want to demolish more.
“We used our hard-earned money to purchase and build the houses. They said that they want to construct Circular Road. They have already taken 150 meters, and many houses have been demolished.
“Now, they said that they want to add another 500 meters. Where do they want us to go?
“There is a family, the house of the father was demolished, that of the mother was also demolished and that of the child was also demolished. They had to return to their father’s house,” she said.

The Bauchi State House of Assembly Committee on Finance and Economic Development has intensified efforts to ensure transparency and accountability in local governments.
Speaking during an oversight visit to Gamawa and Dambam local governments on Thursday, the Committee’s Chairman, Ibrahim Burra, urged chairmen of the state’s 20 local government areas to maintain proper financial records and adhere to due process in handling public funds.
He clarified that the visit was meant to assess and verify financial transactions at the local government level, ensuring accountability rather than conducting a witch hunt.
Burra explained that the initiative is part of a broader effort by the lawmakers to maintain strict oversight of how local councils manage public funds.
“The goal is to foster transparency and restore public trust in governance across the state, ” he said.
Responding, the Chairman of Gamawa Local Government, Madaki Gololo, reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to financial prudence.
He noted that since assuming office, his team has prioritized proper record-keeping and responsible resource management to enhance transparency in handling public funds.
Gololo added that his council has been focused on diversifying economic strategies to address the challenges faced by citizens, many of whom are struggling to meet basic survival needs.
He added that the local government has implemented strict measures to ensure all income streams are fully accounted for, with up-to-date financial records to boost revenue generation.
