The Lagos State Government has demolished the car showroom of popular influencer and auto dealer Ola of Lagos
The demolition took place on Saturday, October 11, 2025, and was first highlighted in a TikTok video shared by fellow car dealer Ibilo.
Reports suggest that the showroom’s location beneath high-tension power lines may have prompted the government’s action, though official reasons have not been confirmed.
Reacting to the incident, Ola of Lagos reassured his followers on Instagram that his business remains operational. He also announced plans to open a new, improved showroom soon, expressing optimism despite the setback.
He said: “OOL Autos New Showroom coming soon… Bigger and better insha Allah
We’re still active! We’ve been before our physical showroom and we’d always be. Pending the time our new office will be ready, you can Call/WhatsApp: +234 703 192 0541 for clean cars as usual you will love it”
“We’re still active…showroom or no showroom.
Y’all can reach @ool_autos for your clean rides as usual.
No sign of weakness”
The demolition has sparked widespread discussion on social media, with many sympathizing with Ola of Lagos and questioning the fairness of the government’s decision.
