More To It Than Just a Land Eviction in Lagos?
Skye Bank is at the center of a massive demolition which has seen two hundred homes levelled in an Ibeju Lekki Estate in Lagos. The bank claims that the dwellers were illegally occupying the land. There may be more to this story than meets the eye, and could include previous Lagos governor Bola Tinubu who allegedly gave the land away to Skye Trustees, while it was actually earmarked for public use by then Brigadier-General Buba Marwar who was the military governor of Lagos State.
