Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, has communicated with his legal counsels, directing them to initiate legal actions against an online publication that allegedly linked him to the high rise building that collapsed in Lagos state, recently.

The Vice-President, who made this known in a statement by Laolu Akande, his media aide, denied any dealing with Chief Michael Ade. Ojo, Chairman of Elizade Motors; who allegedly sold the land to him.

Osinbajo however condoled with the families and relatives of all those who have died, were injured or were affected in the collapse, saying he considers this painful loss of lives a horrible tragedy.

Debunking the publication on Friday, he said, ” the attention of the Vice President has been drawn to a sponsored falsehood regarding the recently collapsed building published by Sahara Reporters on November 4th, 2021, to the effect that: The VP owns the land upon which the collapsed building in Ikoyi stood.

“Sahara Reporters were undoubtedly well rewarded for their criminal and inhumane conduct. Typical of a hatchet job and deliberately irresponsible journalism, the publication was not signed by anyone.

“The Vice President has referred this disgraceful publication to his lawyers for prompt legal action”.
