Pandemonium broke out in Ogun waterside, yesterday, when officials of Ogun State government stormed J4 Junction in Ijebu East Local Government Area of the state and demolished a filling station, guest house and 22 lock-up shops belonging to a former member of the Ogun State House of Assembly, Musa Moruf.

An eye witness told Vanguard that there was confusion as residents and staff of the hotel and petrol station scampered for safety.
.
Sources said the demolition was carried out while the litigation over the property was ongoing at a state high court in Abeokuta.
.
Vanguard gathered that the presiding judge, Justice Hezekiah Solanke, had fixed yesterday for hearing in the suit filed by Moruf challenging the decision of the Ogun State Judicial Commission of Enquiry on Land Matters asking him to relocate the said property without any compensation.
