Nigerian City Demolitions Save Lives - Official

A Lagos State government taskforce has dismantled about 120 shops and illegal structures, including those under high-tension cables at the Itedo area of Lekki phase 1. Radiation from the high tension cables poses a serious danger and "no responsible and responsive government would put any of her citizens lives at risk", an official has said.
