The continued demolition of Otodo Gbame, a waterfront in Lagos State by the task force officials from the Environment Ministry has been critised by Nigerians.
Recall that the task force officials arrived at the community as early as 6am on Sunday, April 9 in company with security operatives and proceeded to set houses ablaze as resident fled.
Nigerian Monitor reported yesterday that a life was lost while several others were rendered homeless, injured by the security operatives.
Below are the reactions that have ensued;
Dear @AkinwunmiAmbode, note that the cries of the innocent Women & children will never go unpunished. #OtodoGbame

Last night, these #OtodoGbame children & women slept on boats in pure cold. Why not get them a place to live before destroying their homes? http://pic.twitter.com/KyzSbOtiKb

We followed @BBNaija to the end. Can we also follow the brutality of Lagos govt on residents of #OtodoGbame to the finale: which is justice.

How many homes @AkinwunmiAmbode provided since 2015? But at #OtodoGbame alone he brutally rendered over 4000 homeless.

Any government that kills the poor to make the rich happy should be overthrown through legal means. #OtodoGbame http://pic.twitter.com/C622sfp1OP
