Tarkwa Bay is a largely demolished riverine community in Lagos Island with no government presence.
Stella Ajayi, a single mother, told PREMIUM TIMES that garri is now a precious meal and she takes it once in a day.
“The community now belongs to the military. I have been brutalised by 2/2 wood for challenging them. No palliatives nor any sensitisation in this community. If a second coming to the world is real, I don’t pray to be a Nigerian. Almost everyone here now eat once daily or fast.”A PREMIUM TIMES reporter visited the community. He noticed that most of the houses in the community were demolished.
In paragraph 5 of the Regulation, the FGN directed the implementation of direct food/ cash distribution to 2.6 million households comprising the most vulnerable. Mr Buhari later extended to 3.6 million to accommodate more people.The president directed the ministry of humanitarian affairs in March to pay N20,000 .
He raised the allegations of bursting of pipelines against the residents which he claimed was dangerous to the state at large.Picture of some demolished houses“Lagos government did not promise to give palliatives to all Lagos ‘vulnerables’. What the government said was that 200,000 households would benefit from palliatives. Should people complain that they didn’t get palliatives? You should focus on more productive and social issues.
