Justice and Empowerment Initiatives says that the Lagos State Taskforce asked residents of Oworonshoki villages whose homes were going to be torn down for one million naira, promising to spare the buildings if the money was paid.
Megan Chapman, the organization’s Co-Executive Director, made the claim during an interview on Channels Television today.
Chapman said on the show, “What we are hearing is that the Taskforce is telling people to bring one million naira and they will spare their houses, but if you can’t bring it, they bring it down.”
The Lagos State Taskforce has not yet answered the claim.
