In his words, “The Lagos State Government should pay adequate monetary damages to the dependants of the deceased whose fundamental right to life has been brutally violated.”
“Similarly all those whose houses have been destroyed by the government are equally entitled to compensation that is fair and just.”
Falana asked that the accused be prosecuted for murder.
Also, according to him, the state government acted illegally by engaging in the demolition of shanties and structures in the community without a court order. He called for the immediate end to the ongoing demolition exercise and the eviction of the residents, saying it would have far-reaching consequences. Falana said that the mass displacement of the residents had led to the “disruption of the education of thousands of innocent children.” He also warned the state government not to turn the confiscated land over to moneybags, as done with Maroko, a poor community demolished in 1990. The State Police Command has announced Boma’s arrest, saying investigation had commenced into the killing.
