Following a story published by an online publication titled “Lagos Business man Ignores LASPPPA turns residential area into commercial hub, neighbours groan’, The businessman and the owners of Redot Digital Marketing Consultancy and Chamuze Stores, Mr. Chima Ihenacho, has said that ‘he is a lawbiding citizen and would not do anything to break the law’
Speaking with newsmen at his 1,Akinsipe close off Oremeta Street, area of Lagos State, Ihenacho said that there was no time he ignored any government agencies regarding the said property and he has always been in touch with them.
Continuing he said that he had two properties with the same premises and that he did not turn any of the property into a manufacturing company and that what he operates is a digital marketing Consultancy where he attends to clients and there is nothing like noise or environmental pollution .
The Redot Digital Marketing Consultancy and Chamuze Stores owner added that due to series of petitions written by the duo of Ben Arikpo (who pastors RCCG Parish Scent of Water Parish Lagos Province 35, Area 009 30, Ogundana street, Off Allen Avenue Ikeja Lagos) and Mr. Chinedu Chukwu, he had been invited by no fewer than three to four agencies including the Lagos State Physical Planning and Permit Authority , LASPPPA, the safety commission and others “twice my building was sealed and reopened by the agencies after thorough investigation, but Arikpo and Chukwu are using every means possible to drive me out of business. They have a well-orchestrated plan to bully, intimidate and blackmail me.”
“And that when pressure was getting too much I sold one of properties and relocated my warehouse to Magboro area of Ogun State and when their problems were becoming unbearable including monitoring my movement and that of my staffs ,I have to instruct my lawyer to write Mr Ben Aripo through a letter dated 22, December 2023 to warn him to desist from taking pictures and making recordings of my clients movement because he has been caught on CCTV footage several times. On another occasion, Mr Ben Arikpo, who runs Brain RX and Dyslexia Foundation from his home and Chinedu Chukwu (a Pilot) runs a car showroom along with his brother within the same premises sent an impersonator who disguised as a police officer to come harass and intimidate my staff.”
Mr Chima added that when they did not succeed in their ploy to either frustrate or bully me out of my business or make me sell other building which they have been bidding for through their agents, they now result to blackmail through newspapers and online publications because the story written recently was either to incite LASPPPA against me and to also indite the respected government agency ‘.
“As a business, we employ the youths of Lagos and Nigeria and fully support the government’s drive for self development and empowerment of our youth. To be faced with this level of falsehood by two individuals who will stop at nothing to wreck a thriving business is beyond believe” He opined.
