Nigerian singer, Yemi Alade is incensed as she directs probing questions towards the Lagos State government regarding the recent surge of house demolitions.
In a widely circulated video, the singer questioned the rationale behind the ongoing house demolitions in Lagos State, which leave residents homeless overnight.
She lamented the increasing frequency of these demolitions, citing areas like Maryland as particularly affected.
Expressing concern, she highlighted the detrimental impact on the country’s real estate value and the loss of hope among citizens whose modest investments for a better life are destroyed.
She urged the government to seek alternative solutions, emphasizing the need for improvement in addressing such issues.
