 See more pics after the break.


  Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Babatunde Raji Fashola today took businessman Aliko Dangote to inhabitants of Ibeju-Lekki communities.
Local chiefs of several villages in about nine interlocking communities were enticed with cash and car gifts to surrender their lands to a Lagos free Trade Zone project.
The residents however said were cut out of any plan to help them resettle or get compensation as their chiefs cut deals to displace them for Mr. Dangote's prospected refinery and petrochemical project.
The State government had tried to use police force to dislodge the inhabitants a few days ago but they were resisted.
However, today, Lagos Governor Fashola changed tactics using local chiefs to cut land deals that would shortchange residents.
