Falana Criticizes Lagos, Abuja Authorities for Demolitions Without Court Orders

Human rights lawyer Falana condemns recent demolitions in Lagos and Abuja as a gross violation of the rule of law, insisting that no governor or minister has the power to demolish houses in Nigeria without a court order. Despite existing court orders, demolitions took place at midnight, leading to criticism of lawlessness and impunity.

Falana's law firm has initiated legal action on behalf of victims seeking damages for constitutional rights violations.
