The enforcement operations were conducted over two days, with 25 properties sealed in Ifako-Ijaiye on Thursday and more than 20 buildings sealed in Eko District on Friday. The violations included operating without valid permits, excessive building density, unauthorized remodeling, deviation from approved plans, and construction without approval.
