Makoko in Tears: Thousands Homeless After Lagos Government Demolishes Waterfront Homes Residents of Makoko, one of Lagos’ oldest fishing communities, are struggling to survive after the Lagos State government demolished parts of the densely populated waterfront settlement, leaving thousands without shelter and livelihoods.
