Residents of several waterfront communities in Lagos State have accused the state government of carrying out widespread demolitions and forced evictions despite existing court orders restraining such actions, as they seek judicial intervention to reverse the destruction of their homes and communities. The allegation was contained in a statement issued on Tuesday by the Coalition against Demolition, Forced Eviction, Landgrabbing and Displacement in Lagos State, which declared solidarity with affected waterfront residents who gathered at the Court of Appeal on Lagos Island.
