The Oyo State Government, through the Oyo State Rule of Law Enforcement Authority (OYRLEA), has issued a 14‑day ultimatum to owners and occupants of illegal structures, including shanties, kiosks, stalls, and ram‑selling points situated around the Obafemi Awolowo Stadium, Liberty Road, Oke‑Ado, Ibadan.
The directive, which comes with immediate effect, mandates all affected persons to vacate the area and remove every unlawful structure within the stipulated period.
According to the Authority, the decision followed the discovery of numerous makeshift structures erected along the stadium walls and adjoining corridors, stretching from Liberty Road Junction through Jogor Centre towards the High Court Roundabout on Ring Road.
OYRLEA maintained that development poses security threats, obstructs urban order, and contributes to environmental degradation around one of the state’s key public assets.The Authority reiterated that full compliance within the 14‑day window is mandatory.
It warned that failure to vacate the area and dismantle all illegal structures will attract appropriate enforcement actions as provided by law.
