Lagos families cry out after land grabbers (Omo Onile) destroy houses over owners' inability to pay N2M each

Some Lagos families have been left in tears, after land grabbers (Omo Onile) stormed their house with heavy bulldozers this morning, destroying houses and properties located at Oke Afa, Ajao estate of Lagos, over inability of the house owners to pay N2M each for their houses located on a land which they claim is theirs.

According to one of the victims, the land these land grabbers are trying to claim has been in existence before they were born. @Whandywonder also went on to disclose that they have gone to court severally, dialogued with the Oba of Ejigbo, brought in town planners and general surveyors who proved that they (Omo Onile) have no land there, but all efforts to retain their houses and lands have been futile.

The victim  also called on the Lagos State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode to 

come to their aid, as they voted him in because they trust he would bring the desired change they seek.

WITH A HEAVY HEART I TYPE THIS!!!

We are defenseless! 

I woke up this morning to a heavy bulldozer in front of my house. This insane omo onile people just show up at oke afa,ajao estate Lagos, claiming ownership of lands that has been in existence before they were born. Destroying homes and properties! Despite the fact that we have paid so much money in time past, gone to court severally, dialogued with the oba of Ejigbo...all efforts to retain our houses and lands have been futile. 

They even claimed that the Lagos state government under the leadership of Gov Akinwunmi Ambode @akinwunmiambode. We would like that you come to our aid sir. We are tired of this madness. 

We have prayed, we have fasted , we have paid so much money I can't even begin to mention. We have even proved severally that these people have no business with this lands. Town planners and surveyor Generals have come to inspect and have proved that they have no lands here 

We have no peace! We are defenseless! We are torn apart by these wicked acts 

They are asking for each house on this okeafa road to pay a whooping 2million and I'm wondering where they expect us to get that money from. My aunt was in tears this morning even with her health conditions . 

@akinwunmiambode We voted you because we trust that you would cause the desired change we seek . Kindly come to our aid! We need your help!

Finally we look to God to defend the defenseless, help the unhelped, comfort the widows who are been tortured with this wicked acts, strengthen us at times like this.

Kindly repost if you can!

Recall sometime in October 2016 that the Lagos State Governor, Akinwumi Ambode, made the menace of land grabbing in Lagos a thing of the past, with the signing of the Lagos State Properties Protection Law.
