Lagos State Government demolishes Ibibio community centre in Surulere

Lagos State Government demolished the Ibibio Community Centre in Surulere, sparking outrage from the Ibibio community who view it as an assault on their identity. The centre, serving as the Mboho Mkparawa Ibibio's secretariat and cultural hub for decades, was legally acquired. The community alleges the government ignored discussions and offered inadequate compensation before demolition. The Ibibio community seeks justice and a replacement property, not just financial compensation, and has appealed for intervention from state governors and human rights advocates.
