STAKEHOLDERS in Lagos State have urged the government to take stringent measures to address the menace of kidnapping, robbery, cult clashes and violent assaults and curb the atrocities of commercial motorcyclists, otherwise known as okada riders.
In a 12-point resolution, they also urged the government to take over abandoned/uncompleted buildings immediately, as well as take control of abandoned vehicles in the nooks and seal off houses, hotels and events centres where hoodlums hibernate or where arms are stored, across the state.
These calls were made at a meeting on security held at the Adeyemi Bero Hall, Alausa, Ikeja, where Governor Babajide SanwoOlu and heads of security agencies alongside other relevant stakeholders highlighted security challenges confronting the state.
