The villagers said they were on a peaceful protest against "forceful takeover" of their land by the Lagos state government on behalf of Africa’s richest industrialist, Aliko Dangote and the Lekki Free Zone Ltd when policemen attacked them reportedly killing two of the protesters instantly.

The villagers said the killing resulted in a crisis.

A local chief in the area told Saharareporters that the Lekki Free Zone Ltd called in anti-riot policemen of "Mopol 49" to kill the protesters because they had insisted too long ago against forceful acquisition of the community land by the Lekki Free Zone Ltd for the construction of a large petrochemical refinery owned by Mr. Dangote. The chief said the Mopol were led and supervised to the protest scene by Managing Director of the Lekki Free Zone Ltd, Mr. Disu.

But Mr. Disu was also among those downed as the police officers guarding him and protesters clashed, according to the local chief. One of the police officers was also feared dead. The community has been taken over by soldiers reinforced to the community as the crisis escalated.

The village is currently being raided by Nigerian troops sent to the community as a result of the crisis. Many villagers have vacated the village out of fear.
Habib Aruna, who is the Chief Press Secretary to Governor of Lagos state, Akinwunmi Ambode told Saharareporters that the governor had just addressed the media over the crisis. He confirmed that Mr. Disu died in the fracas stating that his body has been deposited at the Lagos State University Hospital for

Ha! Ile nje eniyan ( land dey chop person). Adieu mr Disu for dying on behalf of your paymasters.

This is very painful..RIP

Hmmm...Death everywhere...
Death won't see us and our loved ones ni örükö jesü...Aaaamin.

Good job! This is a model outcome and what other communities who feel disenfranchized by their government ought to practice anytime govt bullies them....target the face of their representation and gun him down!

If they have money to build a petrochemical refinery, why can't they use part of it to pay adequate compensation to the land owners? Must the poor always be victimized? RIP Mr. Disu.

Killing people because of their own property. Nigeria I hail ooh. Is Dangote Hausa of Fulani?

Yeeeboos come and chop
