Civilian Traders Evicted from Nigerian Army Barracks in Delta State
What happened
Approximately one million civilian residents and traders in the Mammy area of the Nigerian Army barracks in Effurun, Delta State, have been evicted, and their shops and buildings were demolished, according to reports from Vanguard. Residents alleged they were ordered to vacate the premises within three days, with some receiving only 24 hours' notice. They stated that authorities initially assured them only hotel operators were targeted, but the eviction later expanded to all civilians and traders.
