During the operation, officials from the Lagos State Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development, alongside enforcement officers, supervised the demolition of several structures deemed illegal for being erected beneath power transmission lines.
As the bulldozers moved through the area, scavengers quickly flooded the scene, picking up iron rods, metal scraps, and other remnants from the demolished buildings.
As of the time of filing this report, many occupants of the affected properties were seen in tears, lamenting over their losses and expressing frustration over the State government’s action.
Meanwhile, Lagos State officials maintained that the exercise was part of ongoing efforts to enforce urban planning regulations and prevent loss of lives and property from structures illegally built under powerlines.
