Lagosian’s Protest over Houses Demolition and Indiscriminate Arrest.

Yesterday Lagosian’s protested against the anti-people policies of the Lagos state government under the leadership of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode.

Aggressive street traders who been hunted daily by the environment task-force and others who have been displaced and evicted from their homes carried out a peaceful demonstration on the street of Lagos to express their dissatisfaction with the governor’s policies.

They complained that the Lagos state government have been engaged in land grabbing and the recent demolition of the community waterfront seized from the poor people living in Lagos which is then sold to real estate developers without any compensation.

 They called on governor Ambode to invest in social housing and stop demolishing the existing ones. They also pleaded with the government to create affordable houses, adequate security and to stop the indiscriminate arrest of Lagosians especially the petty traders.
