RCCG Church Project Rejected, As Neighbors Lament Over Possible Collapse

The Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG has been alleged for a possible collapse in the neighbourhood of Jibowa area, of Lagos state.

According to report the church site is not up to half plot of land, where a two-storey building is already being erected.

The neighbors had also lamented that the community was already choked up with another of religious house, The Church of the Lord (Aladura) In the same area.

The acting Chairman of Abimbola Close which is the situated area of the church’ Solomon Edogan, said the kind of building being constructed by RCCG could be disastrous and endanger the lives of people living around.

According to him “This dispute with the RCCG has been on for quite a while now. The RCCG bought a small building on our street. The land on which the building was sited does not measure up to half a plot.

“Yet, they are constructing a two-storey building on that small plot of land and what even scares us most is that the way they are even constructing the building with materials may lead to collapsed building.

“We have contacted the Lagos State Ministry of Urban and Physical Planning for them to stop. After those ones came, they stopped. Suddenly, they continued to build again.”

Another resident, Adewale Alawode, said that the distance was so small that people had to parked their cars elsewhere.

“Look at the close, very small and this church wants to come and cause chaos here with their structure that is not even well constructed.

“We don’t have the kind of space for the kind of structure that they are putting up here because with what we are seeing, once they finish, this place would become too clogged and uncomfortable for residents,” he said
