Banana Island in Lagos was placed on lockdown Tuesday, with its gates sealed off, sparking major traffic congestion across the Lekki-Ajah corridor and parts of Ikoyi.
The closure, captured in viral videos, has been linked to the proposed demolition of the Banana Island Club House, though conflicting reports have emerged over which government agency ordered the action.
While a viral broadcast blamed Lagos authorities, the Lagos State Building Control Agency (LASBCA) denied involvement, stating no officials were on site and that no demolition had commenced.
The lockdown follows recent warnings by LASBCA to remove illegal structures on the island in line with urban planning enforcement.
