The African Action Congress (AAC) has strongly denounced the recent demolition of homes in Karsana, Abuja, calling the government's actions "barbaric and merciless." The party claims the operation has rendered countless families homeless without proper resettlement plans.
In a scathing statement, the AAC accused authorities of violating basic human rights, stating the demolitions were carried out with "complete disregard for human dignity." Eyewitnesses report bulldozers flattening entire neighborhoods while distraught residents watched helplessly.
"This isn't urban development - it's state-sponsored cruelty against poor Nigerians," said AAC spokesperson. "Families who have lived here for generations are now sleeping under bridges while officials celebrate their so-called progress."
The party demands immediate compensation for victims and a halt to further demolitions until proper housing alternatives are provided. Human rights groups are documenting cases of displaced residents, including children and elderly persons now living in makeshift shelters.
Government officials maintain the operation targeted illegal structures, but affected residents insist they had legitimate documentation. As the controversy grows, civil society organizations are planning protests to demand justice for the displaced families.
The demolition has sparked nationwide outrage, with many questioning the government's commitment to protecting vulnerable citizens amid Nigeria's worsening housing crisis.
