    This is to notify the head management of LABSCA to take immediately illegal action to ongoing construction iron staircase at 404 Ikorodu Road Ojota , which is not part of plan in the building although, The owner of the building name is Kayode Wilkey , Please quickly take swift action to not allow the the staircase to be installed to avoid wicking buiding and is not part of plan initially this can be very risk for people moving around in the compound also notice that illegal shop was newly build without the notice of LABSCA.. I would like you to take immediately inspection for your view , Thank you…
