The 2023 presidential candidate for Labour Party, Peter Obi, has urged the Lagos State government to temper enforcement with mercy in its demolition of structures.
This comes after he visited the site of the demolished ASPAMDA Market at the Trade Fair Complex, in Lagos, which he criticised and described the razing of traders’ plazas as a test of the State’s commitment to justice and human dignity.
Obi, in a post made via his X account yesterday, recounted an experience in the UK, where he had to follow due process to evict squatters from a property he owned.
