32. Evidence
33. Supports the account of demolitions at Makoko from late December 2025, the removal of more than three thousand structures, UN-attributed displacement figures above forty thousand, the Lagos State government's stated power-line rationale, residents' contrary account, and the Lagos State House of Assembly halting the operation in February 2026. V55 verification basis: contemporaneous journalism, retrieved in summary; no UN or state government document was retrieved, and the population and displacement figures remain disputed.
