Gospel artist Testimony Jaga is calling for Lagos State to address a humanitarian crisis following demolitions by its building control agency along AIT Road. He reported that the operation, which removed homes and shops under power lines, has left numerous families, including elderly and widows, homeless and destitute.
Jaga alleged the government initially claimed the land was for a BRT garage and Mechanic Village, but is now allocating it for private commercial development. He further stated that landlords collectively paid 25 million naira to the Ministry of Environment in a failed attempt to save their properties.
He urged the state to revert to its original public infrastructure plan, which would benefit the local economy and provide immediate relief for the displaced residents.
