THE Oyo State government, yesterday, demolished the building where Mrs Modupe Onitiri-Abiola, who declared that Yorubaland had become a sovereign nation.
The storey-building is located in the Oluyole area of Ibadan.
In a viral video, it was revealed that the house was pulled down following the discovery by security agents that the house was also being used as an armoury.

A source, who spoke under the condition of anonymity, said the suspect who has been in the run was using one of the rooms downstairs to store weapons, camouflage uniforms, boots and other items.
Though, there was no one to confirm it, the state government has reportedly confiscated the building.
The source said: “When the demolition was ongoing, all neighbours around denying seeing her. But, some of them said she lives in that house.”
Security men and those who carried out the demolition order were seen hanging around the house.
A room where the broadcast was believed to have been made was turned upside down with all personal effects littering the floor.
A larger part of the building was completely demolished while a part was left standing.
