Elsie Okpocha, Basketmouth’s estranged wife, has posted cryptic social media messages that seem to be directed at the comedian.

In the first post on her Instagram story, Elsie asked why someone would try to frustrate another person’s efforts simply because they have decided to be happy.

“How are you still trying to frustrate her efforts because she decided to be happy,” the entrepreneur wrote.

In a subsequent post, Elsie expressed concern about a father telling his 16-year-old son not to share his phone password with his mother.

“Tell me why a father should tell a son of 16 years! 16 years! not to give his mother his password,” she added.

“I need an answer. Is a mother not supposed to have access to her 16 year old’s phone?

The posts have rekindled attention on Elsie and Basketmouth’s separation, which was announced in December 2022. The couple’s 12-year marriage ended, leaving fans and friends shocked.

Basketmouth had shared a statement at the time, citing the difficulty of their split and the importance of prioritizing their children’s well-being.

The estranged lovebirds have three children together — including Jason, who is 16.

The Lagos State Building Control Agency (LASBCA) has addressed the controversy surrounding reality star Chioma Ikokwu‘s demolished property in Lekki, Lagos.

The Real House Wives of Lagos (RHOL) reality TV star had claimed that LASBCA officials denied her access to her demolished property and used policemen to intimidate her.

According to Chioma, LASBCA served her a notice to evacuate the premises where she runs her hair business and restaurant.

She alleged that while she and her team were still moving what remained of her property after demolition, the officials denied her access to her belongings.

In a statement, Adu Adegoke, the LASBCA assistant director of public affairs, explained that the properties in question were illegal structures attached to a building.

The agency stated that the property owner was served the necessary notices, including a “convention,” “seal-off,” and “quit” notice.

The statement quoted Gbolahan Oki, the LASBCA general manager, as saying that the agency “followed all due processes in handling the situation”.

Oki said the occupants were instructed to remove the attachments “lawfully, but they failed to obtain the required Demolition Permit, which is a violation of the Lagos State Building Codes and Regulations”.

He alleged that while LASBCA officials were attempting to enforce the law, the owners harassed and obstructed them.

Oki argued that the video circulating on social media, which appears to show Chioma being denied access to her property, aims to “mislead the public and garner undue sympathy for individuals who have continued to violate building and environmental regulations”.

He reassured the public that LASBCA would not be deterred by attempts to distort facts or manipulate public perception.

Read the full statement below:

The attention of the Lagos State Building Control Agency (LASBCA) has been drawn to a misleading video circulating online regarding the removal of an illegal attachment to a building by their owners at 1A Olubunmi Owa Street, Off Admiralty Way, Lekki Phase 1, Eti-Osa, Lagos.

In line with the Lagos State Government’s commitment to urban regeneration, sustainable development, and the elimination of environmental and security nuisance, LASBCA instructed the owner of the illegal attachment to remove it after multiple notices ranging from Convention, Seal-off and Quit Notices had been duly served on the occupants.

Reacting to the viral video, LASBCA General Manager, Arc. Gbolahan Owodunni Oki, clarified that the Agency followed all due processes which instructed the occupants to lawfully remove the attachment but the owner proceeded on an illegal removal of the attachment without obtaining Demolition Permit from the Agency an act that disregarded the Lagos State Building Codes and Regulations.

“During LASBCA’s routine monitoring exercise of the area, the illegal demolition of the property carried out by the owner was discovered, and our officials faced resistance from some occupants who had failed to adhere strictly to the State Building Laws,” he said.

Oki also stated that the video in question shows an individual attempting to harass and obstruct LASBCA officials and security personnel who were present to maintain law and order during the exercise.

“It is important to note that the video circulating on social media aims to mislead the public and garner undue sympathy for individuals who have continued to violate Building and Environmental Regulations of the State.”

The General Manager further stated that, in the same video, the author admitted to being served the necessary notices, which undermines the claims made in their narrative and still went ahead to carry out an illegal demolition.

He also stated that LASBCA remains resolute in its mission to ensure safe, secure, and sustainable urban development across Lagos State, and will not be deterred by attempts to distort facts or manipulate public perception.

The LASBCA boss implored the public to disregard the misleading video and support the government’s efforts towards a cleaner, safer, and more organized Lagos.”

Chioma Ikokwu, the reality star popularly known as Chioma Good Hair, has accused the Lagos state government of denying her access to retrieve her belongings from a demolished property.

The Real House Wives of Lagos (RHOL) reality TV star took to her Instastory on Thursday to share videos of what remains of her property.

Chioma said the Lagos State Building Control Agency (LASBCA) had asked her to evacuate the premises where she runs her hair business and restaurant in Lekki.

She claimed while she and her team were still moving what remained of her property, the officials denied her access to her belongings.

Chioma posted videos of the demolished property and her interactions with the LASBCA officers. In one of the videos, she is seen arguing with a policeman who demands that she stop recording.

The footage also reveals that the building was marked for demolition in December 2024, with an evacuation date set for January 2, 2025.

Chioma insisted that she had already evacuated the property and was only trying to collect her remaining belongings.

She also questioned why the LASBCA officers were using policemen to “intimidate me and block access to my property”.

Chioma called for the intervention of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, asking someone to “get him on the line”.

“These people are claiming Lagos state. You have come. They have started demolishing our property. I said to them, ‘Okay, no problem. We pulled everything up here. From the containers to every single thing that is up here. We would take out our things by ourselves. We got a truck, and we started doing that. We started moving our things out at a grip,” she said.

“No problem. You have destroyed and demolished things. Even embarrassed us in front of our clients. Now, why are you still stopping us from moving our stuff out using policemen and all sorts of things to intimidate us? I do not understand. And you are claiming Lagos state. Someone should get Sanwo-Olu on the line. He needs to intervene in this.”

As of now, the LASBCA has not responded to Chioma’s claims.
