“This property around Ogombo in Eti-Osa Local Government was sealed off over an illegal reclamation of wetland and construction without requisite drainage clearance and wetland permit.

 

“The ministry had earlier served a stop-work order on August 15 on Messrs Charterhouse and the adjourning properties.

 

“This stop work order was for causing wetland loss and degradation, biodiversity loss, desecration of the buffer zone holding excess water and prevent flooding,” he said.
