Residents and owners of over 200 houses worth billions of naira recently demolished by the Enugu State government on January 19, 2024, have lamented their losses and called for adequate compensation. The houses were demolished in Uzamagu village in the Enugu South local government area of the state, southeast Nigeria. The property owners and investors described the demolition exercise carried out by the same government persuading investors to invest in the state as “preposterous” and an "aberration".
