Shock in Lagos: Peter Obi Rushes to Brother’s Property After Sudden Demolition Begins Without Notice

According to a NewsVista reporter, former presidential candidate Peter Obi was thrown into a state of concern on Tuesday, June 24, 2025, after receiving a distress call from his youngest brother. The call wasn’t just a check-in—it was to report that the family’s property in Ikeja, Lagos, was being demolished without any prior warning.

Obi’s brother, who had just returned to Lagos from Port Harcourt, noticed the unsettling activity and quickly reached out. Without hesitation, Obi left Abuja and made his way to the site, only to meet a troubling scene: security operatives had cordoned off the area, and the demolition was already well underway.

Eyewitnesses at the scene described confusion and tension as bulldozers continued their work. The property, which had reportedly been in the possession of Obi’s brother’s company for over ten years, was being razed under what Obi called a “shady court judgment.”

What raised more eyebrows was that the judgment was allegedly issued against an “unknown person” and a group of squatters—not the legal owners of the building. Even more concerning, no demolition order or official permit was shown during the operation.

Peter Obi, visibly disturbed, spent several hours trying to understand who had ordered the destruction. He engaged with contractors and spoke with the security personnel on site, but no one could provide a legitimate explanation or show supporting documents for the demolition.

This incident is now drawing public attention and raising questions about property rights enforcement and judicial transparency in Lagos.

Here is what he wrote on his official X handle

The contractors claimed ignorance of the orchestrator, while two individuals later suggested a police station visit, though no official documentation was provided.
