Paris Saint-Germain defender, Achraf Hakimi, has broken his silence on the r@pe allegations he has faced since 2023, stressing that the accusations are completely false and damaging to both his reputation and family.The Moroccan international was accused by a 24-year-old woman of sexual assault at his residence in Boulogne-Billancourt last year, a case that attracted global attention and cast a shadow over his football career.Speaking in a candid interview with Canal+, Hakimi said the allegations have been one of the most painful experiences of his life.“I have never been subjected to such harm. For me, it was difficult and it continues to be. Because when you write lie after lie, it hurts, especially for my family,” Hakimi said.The 25-year-old added that while his young children are not yet old enough to understand what is happening, he worries about the long-term impact of the allegations when they eventually come across the reports in the future.“My children are still young. They don’t know the internet and they can’t read. But one day, they’re going to read this kind of thing. And for me, seeing that these lies have been written about their father is not pleasant. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone,” he added.Hakimi, who remains a key figure for both PSG and the Moroccan national team, emphasized that the allegations have unfairly tarnished his name, but he continues to focus on his professional career and his family.The case has since sparked wide debate about privacy, media ethics, and the balance between reporting accusations and protecting reputations when legal proceedings are ongoing.

The Lagos State Government has demolished at least 19 buildings at the New Mandela Plaza within the popular Trade Fair Complex, Ojo, in a controversial exercise that has left traders devastated.The demolition, which took place on Thursday, September 25, was part of the state’s ongoing clampdown on illegal developments, defective structures, and buildings constructed without statutory approvals or on restricted areas such as road setbacks and drainages.The large-scale operation was jointly carried out by several state agencies, including the Office of the Lagos State Urban Development, Ministry of Physical Planning, Lagos State Building Control Agency (LASBCA), Lagos State Urban Renewal Agency (LASURA), Lagos State Physical Planning Permit Authority (LASPPPA), and the Office of Infrastructure, with the support of armed security operatives and members of the Lagos House of Assembly.However, the exercise has triggered widespread outrage among affected business owners and residents. A distraught trader, speaking to reporters, lamented the scale of losses.“If government doesn’t want companies or development here, they should just come out and say it. People have invested their life savings here. Over 19 buildings are in that plaza, and each is valued at more than ₦150 million,” the trader said angrily.The estimated value of the demolished properties runs into several billions of naira, with many traders claiming the action has ruined livelihoods and thrown families into uncertainty.The demolition comes amid growing public debate on the accountability of government agencies responsible for granting building approvals. Critics argue that punishing developers without holding approving officers accountable amounts to selective justice.The Lagos State Government has yet to issue a detailed response to the traders’ grievances, but officials insist the demolition is part of a wider effort to sanitize the state’s urban space and prevent further building collapses.

The Lagos State Government on Thursday began demolishing illegal developments and defective buildings at the Trade Fair Complex in Ojo Local Government Area, a move that has stirred tension among traders and property owners.Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s Senior Special Assistant on New Media, Jubril Gawat, confirmed the exercise in a statement shared on his official social media handle.“FLASH: Lagos State Government begins removal of illegal development, structures without statutory approvals, and defective structures — including those built on road setbacks and drainages — in the Trade Fair Complex, Ojo Local Government Area,” Gawat wrote.The operation was carried out by multiple agencies, including the Office of the Lagos State Urban Development, Ministry of Physical Planning, Lagos State Building Control Agency (LASBCA), Lagos State Urban Renewal Agency (LASURA), Lagos State Physical Planning Permit Authority (LASPPPA), the Office of Infrastructure, members of the Lagos State House of Assembly, and armed security operatives.However, the demolition has drawn mixed reactions online. Some Nigerians are calling for the government to prosecute officials who allegedly approved the construction of the structures in the first place.One X user, @KingOfSley, wrote: “Start by punishing those that give approvals for these buildings. You are giving paracetamol to a malaria patient. Tomorrow the same people will approve again, and developers will be victims.”Another user added: “Taking this down without arresting the person who approved the structure is witch-hunting. Where were all these agencies when the building was at the foundation level?”The demolition comes less than 24 hours after a two-storey building collapsed at Mangoro Bus Stop in Alimosho, leaving six people injured.Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Gbenga Omotoso, confirmed that one victim, a 44-year-old resident, sustained fractures and multiple bruises and was rushed to Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) in stable condition. Five others were taken to a private hospital in the area.The latest demolition underscores the government’s renewed push to curb illegal developments and prevent future building collapses across the state.
