Operatives of the Lagos state police command on Wednesday fired teargas at protesting residents at the Lagos State House of Assembly complex over ongoing demolitions in several communities.

The residents also alleged the state government of carrying out the exercises without adequate consultation, compensation or resettlement plans.
