The Oyo State Commissioner for Information, Toyin Arulogun, has denied any involvement in the demolition of Yinka Ayefele’s N800 million Music House housing his radio station, Fresh FM.
Arulogun said that contrary to the allegation by the ace music artiste, he was not responsible for the demolition.
Mr Arulogun told Premium Times that the action was taken by the state government and town planning authorities in the state.
“The question is, can I influence the decision of the executive, that of government agencies and that of the state government as a whole? Arulogun said.”
He then added that the state government would formally address journalists on its stance on the demolition on Monday.
Recall that WuzupNaija had reported that Ayefele begged his fans to desist from damaging public property.

Mr Ayefele spoke on Sunday evening on a programme on the radio station, which commenced online transmission after the demolition.
“Don’t cause trouble. Don’t even touch the caterpillar parked in front of the music house. I beg of you all. The government has done what they deemed fit.
“Fresh FM continues despite the demolition. So far we don’t do anything against the government laws and we’ve not breached the broadcast regulations. Let God judge.”
However, The Oyo State Government has denied it demolished the music house.
The government on Monday expressed shock about the demolition of the house saying it was preparing to institute a panel of inquiry to unravel the identity of those who razed the N800m edifice.
The location of the demolished building has generated controversies in recent weeks, with the Oyo State Government saying it contravenes urban and physical planning laws of the state.

The government said the building violated the originally approved building plan because it is “structurally defective (and) poses danger or constitutes a nuisance to the occupier or the general public.”
