An alleged plan by the Federal Ministry of Housing and Urban Development to construct a road through the exclusive highbrow Banana Island, located in lagos, to a new estate around the same area, yesterday resulted in chaotic scenes.
No official of the ministry was willing to comment on the issue, but THISDAY gathered that the resistance by the residents of the island to security officials deployed by the ministry, led to a serious traffic jam around the area, delaying several homeowners who were on their way to their offices.
It was learnt that the occupants of the island insisted that the so-called access road was not part of the estate’s initial blueprint and if allowed to be constructed would not only deface the island, but could severely compromise security.
