Some civil society groups in Lagos have given their support to the Lagos State government over the relocation of destitute to Anambra state. The coalition of civil society groups led by Rights Activist, Biodun Sowunmi, described as logical and necessary the decision of the state government to transfer the 14 persons after rehabilitation to Anambra state. They argued that based on available information, none of the destitute had identifiable addresses or relatives in Lagos state. The group condemned the politicization of the resettlement of the destitute, and decried the ethnic connotations being ascribed to the issue by some political leaders on what it says is a lawful action taken by the Lagos State government.
