Ola of Lagos denies ownership of demolished Skywise Group property

Popular media personality and car dealer, Ola of Lagos, has refuted claims linking him to the ownership of the Skywise Group property recently demolished by the Lagos State Government. In a video message shared online, he clarified that he only leased part of the building to run his car business and never claimed to own the property.

Ola explained that the demolition was carried out by the government due to safety and structural violations, not as a personal attack against him or his business. He emphasized that his operations were only affected because his car lot happened to be on the premises, which had failed to meet regulatory standards.

“I want to clear the air about the demolition of my car lot. I never owned the Skywise Group property, I only rented a section to operate my business,” he stated. “The government acted based on safety concerns, not because of any personal issue with me.”

The clarification came after several social commentators, including activist Deji Adeyanju, accused Ola of misleading the public by allegedly portraying himself as the property owner. The issue quickly spread across social media platforms, leading to mixed reactions from fans and critics alike.

Ola of Lagos further urged Nigerians to verify information before sharing it online, warning against the dangers of spreading false news. He assured his followers that his car business remains active and will continue to operate within legal and regulatory frameworks.
