He said, “There is nothing like twisting the fact because I can see they are stating to twist the facts and facts must not be twisted. The causes (sic) of the suspension is due to the fact that I was directed by the Lagos State House of Assembly to give the revenue, the market tolls of Iyana Ipaja market to Mr Aderoju Ishola. What I just said, there is a written document to that fact. That is the basis to the suspension.

“The second reason is that they said Aderoju Ishola Ejibadero is the owner of all lands from Iyana Ipaja to Idimu.”
