Public Safety: Edo Govt Demolishes Illegal Buildings Under High-Tension Lines

Edo Government Demolishes Illegal Structures Under High-Tension Power Lines The Edo State Government has demolished illegal stalls, caravans, and other structures erected beneath a 132kV high-tension power line at Egor Market in Benin City following a recent fire outbreak on the transmission line. The exercise, carried out by the Edo State Development and Building Control Agency (ESDBCA), was aimed at removing structures within the power line's right-of-way to safeguard lives and property. Officials said affected traders had been served notices before the demolition, allowing them time to remove their belongings. While some traders expressed frustration over the demolition, others welcomed the government's action, saying it was necessary to prevent future disasters and ensure public safety. ‪@edostatemarketblog‬ ‪@edonews‬ ‪@edonews‬ ‪@KhanSirPatnaKhanGs‬ ‪@ai-creator001-2h‬ ‪@goviral7389‬ ‪@JoyceTv1‬ ‪@SLICKSLIMESAMDIYComedyScience‬
