“It is costing us money. They had several notices to remove such structures, but they refused. The demolition started on Thursday, and so far so good. The demolition went well, except for Pastor Odumeje, who according to the report drove in, in a brazen manner and attempted to take over the equipment.

“Of course, state work must go on, and security had to stop him. This was a man who was in several meetings we had, and also spoke. In fact, this is costing us money, and the structures should have been removed before now, but they chose to test the resolve of government.

“Once we are done with this exercise, we will compile the bills and send to the persons involved, and they must pay.”

Soludo, it was gathered, had earlier distanced himself from an apology reportedly tendered to the fiery prophet.

He also disclosed that two Catholic churches were awaiting  demolition in line with the state government’s plans.

“Two Catholic parishes involved in the illegal structures demolition are St Dominic Catholic church and Our Lady Queen Catholic church,” he said.

He said the parish priest of Our Lady Queen Catholic Parish was around when the demolition team visited, and even cooperated, and also granted an interview.
