A viral TikTok video features Raymond accusing a Lagos chairman of property demolitions along AIT Road, detailing personal losses and unfulfilled projects while calling for state investigation and accountability in Nigeria
In Lagos, Nigeria, recently, Raymond, a property owner and TikTok user known online as @ponmilesaka, has shared a video accusing Honourable Ejigbadero Abiodun, the local government chairman, Agbado/Oke-Odo LCDA of property demolitions along the AIT Road in the Alagbado area.
The video, captioned “Nigeria My Nigeria with Greedy leaders,” shows Raymond at the cleared site where his former property once stood. He explains that structures, including his own, were demolished more than six months earlier under power lines belonging to the Federal Government and supervised by electricity distribution companies.
Raymond states that the clearances affected more than 200 acres.
He alleges parcels were later sold at around 60 million naira per acre, producing billions in revenue. Despite this, he says, promised road works, including a stretch of less than 700 metres along AIT Road, remain unfinished long after a six-month completion deadline.
He describes the personal impact in stark terms.
The loss of his property, valued at more than 80 million naira, has created what he calls the biggest setback in his career.
He notes similar hardship for others in the community, including elderly residents who could not speak out and some who have since died.
In the video Raymond issues a clear message.
“I won’t let it slide because it really caused me so much pain, which that’s been a biggest setback of my career because I can’t just imagine how a normal person will demolish a property worth more than 80 million naira with the mindset of I will demolish it,” he says.

He also calls directly for the chairman’s resignation, arguing that the official has placed personal interests above those of the people he was meant to serve.
Raymond appeals to the Lagos State government and the state assembly to investigate how the revenue has been spent and to review the demolitions.
These claims arise in an area with a documented history of enforcement against structures built too close to high-voltage power lines. Lagos State Building Control Agency teams have previously carried out clearances along the AIT Road corridor for safety reasons.
Residents in Alagbado and similar parts of Lagos have long raised concerns about notice periods, compensation levels, and what happens to cleared land.

At the same time, local administrations frequently cite the need to protect public safety and enforce planning rules. Abandoned or delayed road projects funded by local revenues remain a recurring complaint across many Nigerian states.
The video has drawn attention to questions of transparency and accountability.
No public response from the chairman or relevant authorities to these specific allegations has been reported so far.
Raymond says he will continue to speak out on behalf of those affected.
