Some residents of Epe town in Lagos State, under the aegis of Concerned Elders of Epe, have sought the immediate intervention of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to stop the illegal dredging of landed property belonging to the state government. They accused the traditional ruler of the town, Oba Kamourudeen Ishola Animasuan of being behind the illegality.
In 2006, when Lekki Free Zone was created, about three communities were affected identified as Abomiti, Yeguda and Eyin-Osa. However, the government allocated another land, which is 10% of what it compulsorily acquired for the displaced communities elsewhere for their resettlement, which some top Lagos State Government officials, and two traditional rulers in Epe and Ogun State, are allegedly now hijacking and converting to theirs, so as to start selling through some real estate companies.
A clarion call has gone to Nigerians to always profess positivity about the country and its armed forces, and stop tales of ethnic and religious rivalry.
