‘We are now homeless’, residents cry as govt demolishes multimillion naira buildings in Lagos (Video)
The Lagos State government has demolished many houses, including multi-million naira mansions at Okokomaiko area of the state.
In a video circulating online, the residents claimed they were not informed of the demolition and were only allowed to move out a few of their properties.
The video shows household equipment such as Television sets, refrigerators, washing machines and the rest piled up in batches on the street as earth moving equipment can be seen demolishing the buildings.
