BACKGROUND

 

When visit was made by our team of investigators, to the address provided it was discovered that the supposed building which is to be no 15, Ojo Giwa Street has been demolished and turned to a construction site. When further enquiries were made round the area and extended to the major street adjacent Ojo Giwa, which is Idumagbo Avenue, some traders who use to know Ever Best Company reliably informed that they, initially were occupying no 45 Idumagbo Street which United Bank for Africa (UBA) now presently occupy. Though, when visit was made to the supposed new location, there was no evidence of Ever Best Company operating on that street. Companies and some other traders occupying shops on that same business district area said that they have heard of Ever Best Company on that street before; though, they claimed to have been newly relocated and were yet to establish their presence around that building (no 15 Ojo Giwa Street) before it was demolished. All efforts to contact subject through Tel., Email etc proved abortive
