WE ARE READY FOR YOU!!! ‘You Carried Out Your Action Without Our NOTICE’ Deeper Christian Life Ministry Bl0ws Hot.
Following the demolition of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry (DCLM) church building located at No: 2/4 Biney Street, Yaba, Lagos by alleged agents of the Lagos State Government and the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA), the church lawyer faulted the demolition.
In a statement by the church lawyer, Nojim Tairu, he claimed that the demolition, which was carried out on June 5, this year, a day to the church’s founder’s 80th birthday, was done without notice to the church’s management.

The church Lawyer said: “No opportunity was afforded nor Notice given to the church and her members including several students resident in the premises to remove their belongings which became war booties in the hand of the large throng ‘of hoodlums and area boys employed by Lagos State and LAMATA in the dastardly act.
“Apart from the church land itself located at 2/4 Biney Street, Yaba, Lagos and the subsisting Lagos State Government approved building foundation thereon valued at about N50million for a proposed two-story ultra- modem church/headquarters complex, the moveable properties of the church, including items belonging to her members, particularly the resident youth brethren, who are mostly students of Yaba College of Technology, which were carted away by the hoodlums during the demolition, was estimated about N100million.
“This is apart from the existing structure on the land, which the valuation report by the church’s Estate Surveyor & Valuer, Olusola Oladapo assessed at N120million (although the amount was inadvertently stated at N140million in the church’s solicitor’s earlier correspondence to the state.
“The demolition was clearly wrong and illegal by any standard. However, more worrisome was the fact that the state and LAMATA carried out their above ungodly and unlawful act despite the earlier letter by the church’s solicitors, Nojim Tairu & Co, calling for communication from the state on its quest to use the church’s property. The church’s entreaties fell on deaf ears as there was no reply from the state to date.
”LAMATA could not be immediately reached to comment on the latest development, but it had earlier denied the church’s claim in its earlier letter referred to by the lawyer.

He added: “All property owners and tenants in affected communities of Yaba and the rest were duly informed and compensated.”
