Alex, a former housemate from BBNaija, has voiced her concerns regarding the recent crackdown on homeless individuals by the Lagos State government.
Through her Instastories, she expressed her bewilderment about the situation, questioning:
“Can someone please explain why the government is arresting homeless people?”
The reality of the news dampened her mood, leading her to ask:
“Is it a crime to be without a home?”
She highlighted the contradiction of targeting those without shelter while ignoring individuals in homes who also contribute to environmental degradation through littering.
“People with houses also pollute the streets. I witness trash being thrown from vehicles.”
She concluded with a poignant question:
“Why are individuals without homes being apprehended for sleeping in public?”
Her remarks have generated considerable debate online, resonating with many Nigerians who share her concerns about the humanitarian implications of such policies.
