Lagos Government Accused of Violating Court Order by Demolishing Properties - Falana
Femi Falana, a prominent human rights lawyer, has criticized the Lagos State Government for demolishing more than 100 properties in Oworonsoki, in defiance of a court order. The Lagos State High Court had issued an interim order to halt further demolitions, but the government proceeded, leading to the displacement of numerous families.
Falana highlighted the government's contempt for the court order and referenced a similar case from 39 years ago involving the military governor of Lagos State. This recent demolition has sparked outrage and legal concerns over due process and rule of law.
