Africa’s richest man, Nigerian billionaire Aliko Dangote, and Lagos state Governor Babatunde Fashola are reportedly employing Nigerian police officers to forcefully evacuate residents of a rural community in Lagos in order to facilitate Dangote’s acquisition of a large parcel of land.

According to Sahara Reporters, on Thursday more than a hundred Nigerian police officers from the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) invaded the Okun-Idasho rural community in Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos, and forced residents to evacuate from their homes. According to the report, the policemen arrived at noon and went from house to house throwing out occupants. Individuals who protested the invasion were arrested and manhandled. The police officers also shot in the air sporadically and threw tear gas to disperse protesting residents.
