16  illegally  constructed buildings in Okota within Oshodi-Isolo Local Government Area have been sealed by the Lagos State Government
 
The State Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development which enforced the seal also served contravention notices on three bonded container terminals in the same area .
The 16 buildings sealed, included shopping malls; hotels, warehouses and private residences illegally converted for other use.
Besides, the buildings were allegedly  constructed without planning permits or were built at variance with the Approval Order of the area.
While the bonded terminals, located on Ago- Palace Way and Muyibat Oyefusi Street, Okota, were found to have been inappropriately constructed in residential areas and, therefore, requested owners  to come forward with planning permits for the facilities to avoid being sealed.
