Residents and occupants of Abete community in Iwaya – Yaba were thrown into a restive mood yesterday, August 18, 2017, following the demolition of structures in the area by the Lagos State Government.
The demolition exercise claimed no fewer than 200 houses with residents insisting they can’t fathom why the government ordered the exercise that claimed structures along the Balogun extension of Iwaya.
According to report gathered by Eyes Of Lagos, Several residents described the demolition as unjust, asserting that the government gave them no notice before the demolitions took place
According to them, the state government gave them no time to either relocate or take their prized belongings out of their homes before the demolitions began.
The absence of any prior warning caused a lot of uproar and confusion as the demolition took place, with many victims bemoaning the loss of their accommodation as well as belongings trapped in the massive wreckage.
A resident, who simply identified himself as Ademola, said the government’s action was unexpected. “The demolition came suddenly. Nobody was prepared for it, and we couldn’t move out our things before they started the demolition. We cannot point to anything in particular that led to the demolition, but we suspect that the government has their motive for carrying out this demolition today.”

There's no way they'd carry out a demolition of such magnitude without a forewarning
