A developer has been
caught damaging the Ilubirin exit of the 3rd mainland bridge, Lagos
TheCable reports that sources at the
federal ministry of works and housing revealed that the developer’s
workers have been arrested and will be prosecuted.
The developer, whose
identity was not revealed, was trying to create illegal entry and exit points
to the estate at Ilubirin by destroying parts of the longest bridge in Nigeria.
The workers had
broken the parapet of the bridge before they were apprehended over the weekend
by officials of the ministry.
Describing as
embarrassing the developer’s action of “willful damage” to the all-important
bridge, the source said: “The estate at Ilubirin, as designed, is not meant to
open to the expressway. The interchange at Dolphin is the legal access created
for estates and other developments in that axis. And so it was quite alarming
and embarrassing that a developer can choose to start damaging a major
infrastructure like the 3rd mainland bridge just for his own selfish purpose.”
This is coming amid
efforts by the federal government to fix the Kara, Dormalong and Independence
Bridges, among others in Lagos state, under the national bridge maintenance
programme.
