Thousands of residents of
Makoko/Iwaya Waterfront community who had built shanties close to a
powerline situated on the lagoon, lost their homes on Monday after a
joint taskforce comprising policemen, soldiers and officials of Kick
Against Indiscipline, demolished their structures.
It was learnt that the Lagos State Government had given the residents three-day notice, which lapsed on Sunday to quit the area.
In the notice dated July 12
and signed by Mr. Akin Tijani, Head of Operations, KAI on behalf of the
Commissioner of Waterfront Infrastructure Development, the government
said the shanties was not in tandem with its megacity project.
