Two persons have reportedly been arrested on Tuesday, at the scene of demolition that is ongoing in the Oworonshoki area of Lagos.
Sowore said the task force officials arrested Ogunlami for “questioning illegal demolition of houses in Oworonshoki.””The task force team lead did not take him to proper @PoliceNG station but kept him in a mobile detention vehicle and began driving him all over Lagos since his arrest. We demand his immediate release,” he stated in a post on X via @yeleSowore on Tuesday.
When contacted, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, said he did not have details of the incident at the moment. He said, “When they are done with the demolition and return, I will get an update. I don’t have one for now.” The PUNCH reports that residents including children and women were rendered homeless following the demolition that began last week Monday in the area by the state task force.
It was learnt that streets such as Oke-Eri, Oluwaseyi, Community, Cornerstone, Ogo-Oluwa and others, housing several buildings, were affected by the demolition.All rights reserved.
