Deputy Speaker Urges Tinubu to Stop Demolition of Igbo Properties in Lagos

Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu, appealed to President Bola Tinubu to halt the demolition of properties owned by Igbos in Lagos State. Kalu expressed concerns over the ongoing demolitions and urged Tinubu to intervene and prevent further destruction.

The plea came during the commissioning of a project in Aba, Abia State, where Kalu emphasized the need to protect the interests of Igbo property owners in Lagos. The situation arose following reports of demolitions carried out by the Lagos State Government, citing lack of proper approvals for the buildings.

Kalu's call for intervention aimed to address the grievances of the Igbo community and prevent further economic losses.
