Weird, Is Ayisatu and Maidan mentioned in your initial write up? You article said back of mile12 market. not beside. those 2 are beside it. If I remember clearly, those are actual homes and I do not think the government should be demolishing homes there.
Go there when you reach there you will know may be the government reach there or not. Is dada street gengere..... This people started opposite the filling station at maidan road. When you get there you will see how many homes where destroyed and this people are still telling them that they have not see anyting. that all the maidan road have been awarded to them to build estates

And when you read the article you will read where the Chairman mentioned this people the Late Funsho Williams and Commissioner Benson; he’s still alive. And i believe you know this people can't have a property inside gengere or inside the mile 12 market. And you can't expect mile12 market to have what they called LCDA Chairman

A lot might have changed but I remember that dada street being weird as shit. However, I know a lot of solid houses are on Maidan and Ayisatu streets. regardless, none of the homes should be demolished if they do have a C of O and they bought properly.

Do know how many decade that people have acquired dose lands and many of them have will it to there children. You mention C of O as sumtin you can just go to Ministry of Lands and get it once. If you have 10million that don't say you will have ur C of O . This is lagos state and mind you how many of those politicians house in lagos state have C of O in mainland.

Try to go to this area that people house were demolish, there some houses that have their C of O and yet dey are destroy. When Lagos state destroy ur property can they reward you with the value of the property. Don't let us deceive ourselves. They are making life difficult for the poor and this are the people they use for their election

Not making excuses for these actions but quite a number of people do not do due diligence when purchasing landed properties. I tried asking about the situation at mile12 and someone told me that the land belongs to the government but was still sold to the people by the locals. This could be the case and this might not. I remember mum telling me she once wanted to buy land around Ajelogo and after her findings. She found out after visiting the survey office that the whole area is government acquired. This is decades ago and people bought those lands and have been living there. There was inadequate verification process then and quite a number of people fell victim. Even on our street then at Alapere, she will say some houses are sitting on canal path and she mentioned quite a lot of them. I have witnesses those houses passed through different owners and some inherited. Yet, when the government comes knocking, it will be a tragedy all over. This is not to escuse what is happening in mile12 but a lot of these is due to people not making adequate findings and the government also not working properly to stop construction of illegal structures at the local level.

sad I'm not in support of demolition of people property but some people are wicked % stubborn too.You'll see a signboard/post THIS LAND BELONGS TO FG,LG,STATE GOV with caveat.A stubborn, corrupt fellow will settle some local Baale,your and start building undecided.
Stop lying, no businessman sinks his millions to buy any property with a signboard that says 'This land belongs to Lagos state or FG'.

You are misrepresenting facts as if we don't live there..

As a businessman, I have properties too, if I get a whiff of any sign that says the property is government acquired or under high tension. I drop it the idea like a hot pan and bail..

Yes Akanimodo and part of Ajelogo area to Kosofe college are government property and if you notice then there is no big house and every one know then that this area is government property and that is why such area is a shanty area then. Ok can i ask you the building on it now is it own by government or politicians and this is building that is built with lagos state money. All the buildings are now share. Is it possible for all Mile12 area to be own by government. Please let us be sincere.

I think Lagos Govt usually give up to 3/4 notice to occupants of a land before demolition.

I had a similar issue with a stakeholder last year, they even gave compensation of some sort, if I remember correctly.
