Twelve suspected thugs have been arrested and charged before Isolo Magistrates’ court for their alleged involvement in the demolition of a furniture factory in Ajao Estate, Lagos State, western Nigeria. The police at Ajao Estate division have also arrested a UBA bank manager, Mrs Blessing Okpoko in connection with the pulling down of the factory owned by her husband, Ifeanyi Okpoko.

P.M.NEWS gathered that the couple had been at loggerheads and had gone to a Lagos High Court seeking for the dissolution of their 13-year-old marriage that produced three daughters. The couple also seek the sharing of their properties. The couple in their petition are accusing each other of infidelity and constant quarreling which resulted in the divorce suit at the court. The suit was still pending at the court when the thugs invaded the factory kown as Multicraft Interior located at 14, Alhaji Lukeman Atobajeun Street, Ajao Estate and pulled down the structure. Items worth millions of naira were also destroyed during the demolition exercise.

Ifeanyi had contacted the Police who mobilised men and arrested the thugs and also recovered a bus and instruments allegedly used in cutting the iron rods used in building the factory. Ifeanyi said he was in the house when his workers phoned and informed him that three Air Force officers with arms and thugs invaded the factory and chased them away and started demolishing the structure. He said the property was subject of litigation at the high court and the court was yet to decide the matter before the demolition. But at the station, Blessing said she contracted those who went to demolish the place because the land was not in dispute and as such belonged to her. The suspected thugs have been charged to court while Blessing was yet to charged to court pending the conclusion of further investigation.
