\u2022Assembly orders immediate halt, assures compensation<\/strong><\/p>\n

By Ebunoluwa Sessou, Elizabeth Osayande & Ifunanya Ndigwe<\/strong><\/p>\n

FOR residents of Makoko, Mainland Local Government Area of Lagos, the pain of demolition has not faded. Weeks after their homes were pulled down, many are still counting losses that go far beyond property; lives, livelihoods and their children\u2019s education have all been shattered.<\/p>\n

Although the intervention of the Lagos State House of Assembly has helped to calm tensions, displaced residents say their suffering continues, with no clear relief in sight.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the state House of Assembly, yesterday, ordered the immediate stoppage of the ongoing demolition of waterfront structures in the Makoko community. The directive was issued during a stakeholders\u2019 meeting between members of the Assembly and residents of the Makoko community at the Assembly complex.<\/p>\n

Several victims told Vanguard that since the demolition, they have been forced to sleep in boats, exposed to rain and scorching sun, after losing their homes during the Lagos State Government taskforce operation.<\/p>\n

It was gathered that about 12 lives were lost and properties worth unquantifiable sums destroyed during the demolition exercise.<\/p>\n

My family has been living in a boat \u2014 Juliana<\/h3>\n

For Mrs. Juliana, a mother of 10, the demolition brought her world to a halt. She said her family has been rendered homeless, while two of her sons are currently hospitalised.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat will I live for again?\u201d she asked in tears. \u201cThe demolition left us with nothing. We couldn\u2019t even recover a pin because it happened suddenly. Since then, we have been sleeping in boats, under a billboard.\u201d<\/p>\n

We risk extinction \u2014 Prof. Olaoluwa<\/h3>\n

Spokesman of the Eegu General Assembly, Prof. Senayo Olaoluwa, warned that the continued demolition of riverine settlements could erase entire communities.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese demolitions make us feel that Eegu people and other riverine communities are being targeted for extinction,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

A peaceful protest turned into a nightmare\u2014 Jude Ojo<\/h3>\n

Another resident, Jude Ojo, recounted how a peaceful protest by residents escalated into chaos.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe came in peace to seek redress and discuss a better way to handle what we believe is an unnecessary and illegal demolition and forced eviction. Instead, we were met with tear gas,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

According to him, one protester was shot in the leg. \u201cHe bled so much he couldn\u2019t walk again and had to be carried by two people to safety before being rushed to the hospital.\u201d<\/p>\n

My family is scattered \u2014 Ogunusi<\/h3>\n

Ogunusi Adewale said his house was demolished on November 27, 2025, marking the peak of a struggle that has lasted over six years.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have been sleeping outside since the incident. My home is gone and my family is scattered,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople should be treated as human beings, not animals. The demolitions destroyed over 3,000 homes and displaced more than 10,000 people. Mothers with babies are now living in canoes or on water. Schools, clinics and churches were lost. The state government wants to wipe us out completely from our ancestral homes.\u201d<\/p>\n

The demolition did not stop \u2014 Israel Idowu<\/h3>\n

Student Coordinator of the Makoko Waterfront Community, Israel Idowu, said the demolition was neither accidental nor unexpected.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe governor had spoken openly about turning Makoko into a tourist centre and has also mentioned the issue of power lines here,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were clearly told that demolition would stop. But after that meeting, the bulldozers came back. When we asked questions, we were told it was an order from above.\u201d<\/p>\n

Idowu described the situation as devastating, alleging that a pregnant woman died after bleeding profusely because access to medical help was restricted.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany residents are now sleeping in boats, canoes, churches and open spaces. Children have stopped going to school. Fishing, our main source of livelihood, has stopped. Small shops that families depend on have been destroyed,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Livelihoods wiped out in Owode Onirin<\/h3>\n

Chairman of the Owode Motor Spare Parts Market, Abiodun Ahmed, said demolitions in Owode Onirin wiped out livelihoods built over decades.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn one day, traders lost their shops, spare parts, vehicles and everything they worked for. Some people lost businesses they had built for decades,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Ahmed alleged that traders were attacked by security operatives and government officials, with some arrested and vehicles seized.<\/p>\n

Lagos Assembly orders immediate halt, assures compensation<\/h3>\n

Chairman of the ad-hoc committee set up by the Speaker, Mr. Mudashiru Obasa, Mr. Noheem Adams, disclosed that the resolution of the meeting was to direct the state government to halt further demolition activities until further notice.<\/p>\n

Recall that hundreds of displaced Makoko residents had last week staged a protest at the Assembly over the demolition exercise. The protest reportedly created tension and led to the arrest of some activists, who are currently standing trial, while many of the protesters accused the state police command of assaulting them during the protest. The state government had explained that the demolition was carried out on safety grounds, noting that some structures were built under high-tension power cables.<\/p>\n

Reading out the committee\u2019s resolution after the stakeholders\u2019 meeting at Alausa, Ikeja, Adams, who is also the Leader of the House, said: \u201cOn behalf of the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Obasa, and all the 40 members of the House, we are directing that all ministries should stop work on all demolitions. I repeat, all demolitions in Makoko, Oko-Agbon and Shogunro communities should stop from today until further notice.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also want to see the list of the taskforce that was constituted because we want residents to be duly involved and carried along. There should be a clear schedule and criteria for those involved.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have directed the ministry to stop demolition in Makoko forthwith. The plan to constitute a Taskforce that will look into the matter should have a human face, involving members of the affected community, we want to see the list so as to ascertain their involvement, we are assuring you that demolition will stop and those whose houses were demolished will get compensation.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo the residents of Makoko, Oko-Agbon and Shogunro communities, as your representatives, we assure you that demolitions will stop and that compensation will be paid to all those whose properties have been affected,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Adams further asked the audience if they were satisfied with the committee\u2019s intervention, to which the residents responded with a thunderous chorus of \u201cWe are satisfied.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier, while interrogating the Chairman of Yaba Local Council Development Area, Mr. Bayo Adefuye, a member of the committee and Chairman of the House Committee on Information and Strategy, Mr. Stephen Ogundipe, stressed the importance of communication.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe most important thing is communication, even if you are not physically present. Those you intend to help must understand the plan you have for them,\u201d Ogundipe said.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu\u2019s Special Adviser on E-GIS and Urban Renewal, Dr. Babatunde Olajide, had said during a press briefing on Monday that the state government would compensate residents whose properties were demolished.<\/p>\n

Olajide disclosed that the governor had since 2021 set aside $2 million for the redevelopment of the Makoko waterfront to meet international standards, adding that the government was working on a large water city project for the community.<\/p>\n

The Baale of Makoko Shogunro, Iwaya LCDA, Yusuf Sagra, said: \u201cWe are here to explain our petition to members of the House on what is happening in our communities, and we are happy. They have given us a word of peace and we are satisfied.\u201d<\/p>\n

Also speaking, Orioye Ogungbure said: \u201cI am happy with this deliberation. I did not expect it.\u201d
If the government continues to listen to people whenever they have grievances, it will be good for democracy.\u201d<\/p>\n
