As the demolition of structures in Muwo Phase 11, Badagry, Olohunda Local Council Development Area, LCDA, entered day two, yesterday, officers of Nigerian Police, Lagos command demolished more structures to reclaim the entire land.

It will be recalled that the police commenced the demolition of structures in Mowo Phase 11, accusing the owners of the structures of trespassing on its 65 hectares of land on Monday.
The demolition exercise which commenced at about 11:00a.m. on Tuesday, was intensified, as the police officers with their bulldozers ensured that the structures were pulled down completely.
The occupants were, however, allowed by the police to remove their property before the buildings were demolished.

Officers, who spoke under condition of anonymity, said that the Nigerian Police through the Lagos State Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development had issued eviction notice to the occupants on December 21, 2011.
After this date, Vanguard gathered that officers of the Nigerian Police, who were sent to the community to appeal to the residents to leave the land few weeks ago, were beaten by some of the occupants.

It was also learnt that this angered the Inspector General of the Nigerians Police, Muhammed Abubakar, who then sent more officers to the community to evict residents.
