Lagos State Task Force Threatens Former Candidate Over Demolitions

Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, a former governorship candidate, alleges that the Lagos State Task Force threatened him following the demolition of buildings in Jakande Estate. He criticizes the government for its exclusionary development policies, blaming them for the high poverty rate in Lagos.

Rhodes-Vivour claims that the demolitions were carried out unlawfully and in a manner that marginalized vulnerable residents. He further accuses the government of misusing land and displacing residents for private interests rather than public good.
