This is to draw the attention of Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Ifako Ijaiye Local Government Chairman, Usman Hamsat and Area Commander, Area G Police Station, Commander Zungura who covers Ifako Ijaiye axis, I would like to use this medium to pass this privileged information as Lagos/Lagosian already sitting on a keg of gun powder.
The present situation in Fagba axis is no longer save and unbearable as several people had related their experiences while I witnessed this about 9:30pm on Thursday June 2, 2022 right between Daddy Savage Junction and Fagba Bus Stop.
People were mugged with impunity; while Red House police vehicle/van usually stationed before now, in Savry but they were nowhere to be found! Even if those policemen were sighted, surely, they were only stationed for something different entirely, whether to extort motorists or traffic offenders either of the two reasons.
I have my point on the allegations because it has severally happened in my presence which I even took extorting pictures of the scene.
Recently, I saw a scenario whereby a small boy amongst those truck pushers snatched a phone from a passenger seated inside Keke Napep (Tricycle) while on the traffic of about 30 seconds in the presence of policemen, we all saw him while he ran towards rail-line in Abattoir.
These were Hausa boys we saw and they are mostly teenagers, they eventually ran across the market, close to the railway line to the Abattoir.
During our 7:00am vox pop, another victim recalled; “My wife witnessed one around 6am sometimes back between Oparo and Zenith Bank, her colleague was fast to quickly enter the car after using the ATM.”
“They used a cutlass to attack a victim who was on his way to work, he was covered with blood all over his body as he was shouting ole and those boys who attacked him were also shouting ole (thief) and were running too at Fagba Bus Stop while it was raining at 6.30am on that Saturday while some people were robbed”.
It’s obvious something urgent needs to be done as fast as possible.
My major concern is those Hausa/Fulani teenagers that always gathered themselves at Fagba Junction on daily basis doing nothing, similar cases have been reported in the years past during the era of former Ifako Ijaiye Local Government, Apostle OlorunToba Oke who singlehandedly warned and addressed those guys to desist from their evil acts else they will face the wrath of the State Government.
Guess we will recalled what happened during the EndSARS protest? We saw how those guys went out in the midnight to set many houses/shops ablaze and nothing was done till now.
Now the same ugly scenario is about to resurface again. I wish our political rulers, Lagos State Government could do something fast to savage the situation. “A stitch in time saves nine,” they say.
