The Lagos State Government has demolished the car showroom belonging to popular influencer and auto dealer Ola of Lagos.
The demolition took place on Saturday, October 11, 2025, and was initially revealed through a TikTok video shared by fellow car dealer Ibilo. Reports circulating suggest that the showroom’s location directly beneath high-tension power lines may have been the reason for the government’s action, although no official reason has been confirmed by authorities.
