Between 9 November 2016 and 9 April 2017, over 30,000 people were forcibly evicted from Otodo-Gbame and Ilubirin settlements in Lagos State, a metropolitan city in South-West Nigeria. These evictions were carried out in defiance of court orders, without prior consultations nor adequate notice. Compensation and adequate alternative housing were not provided for evictees. During these forced evictions, security forces and unidentified men killed 11 people. At least 17 people also went missing.
