Anger over land in Ayobo

SOME carried posters and banners. Others chanted popular tunes and slogans in the scorching sun. Dust rose to powder their feet, as they trudged along the dusty roads of Ayobo area of Ipaja, all in their intent to show anger over land grabbers who had vowed to evict them from the land which they have lived for over 25 years.

This was the peak the accumulated anger and frustration of over 600,000 residents of 15 communities in Ayobo in Ipaja-Ayobo Local Council Development Area (LCDA), Lagos, on Thursday, December 10, 2009 over what the resident tagged land-grabbers.
