The Lagos State Government has issued a cheque of N3.1 million to veteran Nollywod actor, Babatunde Omidina, popularly called Baba Suwe, as compensation for the demolition of his property in Ikorodu.
It is safe to recall that Baba Suwe was among the residents of Ikorodu whose properties were destroyed to pave way for the ongoing Igbogbo-Igbe road expansion projects.
His Excellency, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the state Governor, on Thursday, gave the cheques to the affected property owners at the commissioning of the newly upgraded 6.05 kilometres Ijede Road (Itamaga to Ewu Elepe).
Among others who also took a cut of the fund include, Malok Petrol Station with N100 million, Stir Oil and Gas Petrol with N36 million, as well as Igbe Central Mosque at Degolu Junction with N8 million.
