Makoko, one of Africa's largest floating settlements on the lagoons of Lagos, has been demolished, leaving thousands of residents without homes or livelihoods. Families say they received no warning before authorities razed the community, citing environmental and public health concerns and the need for development. Many residents, who depended on fishing, sawmilling and informal trades, now sleep in the open with their children, unable to salvage belongings. Schools have been destroyed, disrupting education, whilst no formal resettlement plan has been announced, echoing past forced evictions criticised by human rights groups.
