The Lagos State Building Control Agency has warned residents against erecting structures or trading under high-tension power lines in any part of the state.
The Baale and the Arewa communities had visited Oki at his office to seek approval to trade on a portion of land, granted to the Arewa communities by the Baale, which falls under a high tension power line.Oki urged Lagosians to be wary of the electromagnetic radiation that comes with the unlawful practice, which poses a threat to the lives of the occupants and those of others.
While noting that buildings erected under high-tension electricity cables were a source of serious concern to the state government, Oki maintained that the state government would not fold its hands and allow the dangerous practice to continue to pose a risk to residents of the state.
