Lagos faces housing crisis with mass evictions and a deadly warehouse discovery

Authorities in Lagos, Nigeria, are dealing with several serious housing and safety issues. The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) found dangerous, unregulated warehouses storing expired goods, which it called 'death warehouses'. At the same time, mass evictions in waterfront areas like Makoko have displaced thousands of people, including a family with newborn twins now living in a canoe.

The Lagos State House of Assembly has paused the demolition in Makoko and pledged compensation for victims, with the state government saying $2 million is set aside for rebuilding. Other incidents include a father seeking justice for his son's death in a hotel and a sanitation worker being rescued after being hit by a truck.
