Nkiru also noted how the government officials sold the debris of their razed properties, asking her husband to pay a certain amount for them to have access to their debris.

She wrote, “15-03-2020 to 15-03-2023 dear Governor @jidesanwoolu today marks exactly 3 years hundreds of families lost their properties and some lost loved ones at the Abule ado explosion.

“On this day 3 years ago, my family recorded a loss of over N300m worth of properties and goods. Lives were lost. Properties worth hundreds of millions lost. You visited the sight. Took pictures and made promises that remain unfulfilled till this day.

“Politicians from different states and positions turned the sight to a studio for photoshoots, making empty promises. Traumatizing and harrassing the already traumatized residents with their sirens and excorts.

“Lagos state gave 2.5m to families that lost lives🙂Miraculously, my family lost no life. But in worth of properties, after Bethlehem College, my family recorded the highest loss as everything both in my house and my beauty complex burnt to ashes with no pin saved.

“I do not live in Abule ado nor have my business there anymore, but I still have friends there. I am still recovering from that huge setback. I fought and refused to give up and started my business again from scratch without any assistance from the government.

“@jidesanwolu, are you expecting votes from the heart broken residents of Abule ado Festac? The wickedness was so bad that even the debris from the buildings were sold by the government, and the owners of these buildings were not allowed to make a dime from the debris of their own buildings.

“In fact, my husband was told to pay a huge amount of money for them to leave the debris and rods from our own house for us to sell. Yes, it was that bad. On this day, 15th of March 2020, my family lost everything called property and was left with just the clothes on our body.

“Covid lockdown came right after that explosion. People were homeless on lockdown. @jidesanwoolu It was traumatizing and depressing. I hope it’s not too late to right these wrongs.
