The Lagos State Government stormed Iwaya axis in Lagos-Mainland Local Government, demolishing several structures, in order to return the land to its original owners.
The demolition exercise occurred at the early hours of yesterday in Iwaya Abete, barely 48 hours after lifeless body of a four-year-old missing child, Farida Suleiman, was found beside a shrine, where the demolished buildings were erected, with her throat slashed.
The residents who had been served several notices by the government before yesterday’s demolition showed lack of concerned towards the notices. Properties worth millions of Naira were destroyed .
It was gathered that the residents were taken by surprise when they sighted the officials of the state government in their community to enforce the order.
A resident (name withheld), disclosed to newsmen that the affected structures were those erected beside canals, beside Abete playing ground and other structures within the community.
