LAGOS POLICE DENY SHOOTING PROTESTERS AMID DEMOLITION OUTCRThe Lagos State Police Command has denied allegations that its officers shot at residents during a protest against the demolition of their homes, insisting that no firearm was discharged during Wednesday’s demonstration.
Protesters drawn from communities including Makoko, Oworonshoki, Owode-Onirin, and Oko Baba marched to the Lagos State House of Assembly, demanding proper relocation plans, adequate compensation, and justice for residents who reportedly lost their lives during previous demolition exercises.
However, tensions escalated at the Lagos State House of Assembly complex in Alausa after protesters were denied entry.
According to **PUNCH Online**, several individuals—including journalists and a nursing mother—were affected when tear gas was fired to disperse the crowd.
