He said landlords must key into the fight against insecurity in their communities.

“Screening those to be accommodated or harboured in your houses is necessary because if any of such tenant is involved in any form of crime, you will be arrested and prosecuted’’.

 

He also warned the traditional fathers not to come for the release of any suspect arrested or they will be detained and charge to court as well.

Odumosu said the security situation in Lagos has been commendable except in some areas within the state metropolis particularly Ikorodu area where the situation has become worrisome due to spike in cases of cultism, gangsterism, traffic robbery, ritual killings, amongst others.

According to Police boss, no few than 242 armed robbers and cultists were arrested in the local government within the last six months while 28 arms and 120 ammunitions were recovered.

He said 192 cultism cases and 18 murder cases were also recorded in the period under review while 25 robbery incidents were foiled.

Speaking on the way forward, Odumosu said, “The Local Government Council in Ikorodu must occupy the front line in combating crimes in the area.

“Also their constitutional responsibilities cannot be jettisoned in the fight against cultism and crimes in general.‌

“The traditional institution in the division must be up and doing in condemning the activities of the bad boys (cultists), instead of supporting and celebrating them and their criminal acts.

He pointed that all traditionalists and traditional worshippers in this area must stop promoting and protecting the criminals in Ikorodu axis and Lagos State in general.

The ideas of fortifying the bad boys and providing native charms for them are counterproductive to our security architecture in this area. Their powers must be used to assist us not to jeopardise our efforts.

 

“The religious bodies must use all their platforms, links and ideological perspectives to promote peace and security in the state and Nigeria at large. The idea of preaching prosperity at the detriment of salvation is counterproductive to security of lives and properties in our contemporary society.”

His Royal Majesty, the Adegorushen of Igbogbo, Oba Semiudeen Kasali, commended the efforts of the Commissioner on community policing which has yielded positive results.

He stressed that the current situation on rampage of cultists, Gangstars, pickpockets, armed robbery and social vices is worrisome which have reached its pick across the division.

“I will advise everyone to join hands to fight against the activities of criminals in our communities because it has given wrong reputation across Ikorodu and it axis, he noted.

The chairman of Ikorodu Oga Development Association, Segun Abiru, called for synergy between police and her sister agencies in the division to work as a team to curb the menace of insecurity in Ikorodu.

Abiru urged the NDLEA to constantly raid all joints where hard drugs are sold in Ikorodu and also discourage the sale of stimulants that boost them to perpetrate in vices.

“I will also suggest the local vigilante is engaged in the fight against the war of gangsterism and cultists because they are with us .

Primate Ayodele Becomes The Most-Sought After Prophet In Togo*
By Serge Ayao, Lome

The Nigerian-born cleric has suddenly become a household name in Togo due to his remarkable prophecy regarding the country’s parliamentary election which took place last week. There are reports that Primate Ayodele’s prophecy videos and statements concerning the election have become ‘ringing tone’ for people who are yet to recover from the accuracy of his prophecy.

Primate Ayodele, known for always prophesying ahead of time, had revealed the outcome of the parliamentary election months before it was held. The election was presumed by many to be tough due to the presence of opposition but Primate Ayodele in his prophecy categorically stated that the ruling party will still get more parliamentary seats.

At the release of his 2024 prophecies in December 2023, Primate Ayodele revealed that every plan to remove the president of the country will be aborted. He made it known that the incumbent president will still return to his position after the election.

These were his words

‘’TOGO: I foresee there will be an election in Togo even as people will not be satisfied with the performances of the government. The country will be troubleshooting on how to revamp the economy. There will be total confusion in Togo before, during and after the election. The country will not find things so easy. I foresee that all the plans designed to remove the president will be aborted.’’

In another prophecy he shared a few hours to the election, Primate Ayodele asserted that the ruling party will get more seats in the election because the opposition parties failed to form a coalition as he earlier advised.

These were his words

‘’The union of forces and other parties should have come together for this election but as it stands, Union for the Republic party’’

In fulfillment of this prophecy, the ruling party, Union for the Republic party (UNIR) won 108 of 113 seats in the new assembly, according to provisional results from Monday’s vote.

Under the new constitution approved by lawmakers in April, Gnassingbé will now be able to take a new post as “president of the council of ministers” – a role similar to prime minister that is automatically assumed by the leader of the majority party in parliament.

Mende Estate: Lagos homeowners decry demolition, seek compensation

Mende Estate: Lagos homeowners decry demolition, seek compensation

Sadly, the residents of Mende Estate Villa in the Maryland area of Lagos State have decried the recent demolition of their multimillion naira houses in the area by the Lagos State Government while seeking compensation for a new shelter.

Our correspondent, who visited the area on Sunday, observed how the estate’s homes were destroyed and how the occupants hastily packed their possessions to leave.

Speaking with PUNCH Metro, some residents bemoaned how terrible it was to exit their houses without having a backup plan and a comfortable place to sleep.

 

 

 

 

PUNCH Metro had reported that the state Commissioner of Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, had said the demolition was needed to reclaim the Odo Iya Laro drainage channel.

 

Also, a popular Nigerian singer, Yemi Alade, had decried the demolition carried out at the estate while stating that such action would discourage those interested in investing in real estate in the state.

A member of the resident association who pleaded anonymity claimed that the residents tried to negotiate with the Lagos State Government but were ignored and that they were not given any prior notice before the demolition began on Saturday.

“The Lagos State Government came and said they wanted to demolish the place. They did not serve us any letter of demolition. We were negotiating with the government yesterday (on Saturday), and before we knew it, they just moved in with their bulldozer.”

 

He added that although there were miscreants in the estate, the security guards were making every effort to stop them from stealing their possessions.

“They have not told us what they want the estate for. All they said was that we were too close to the canal. Miscreants are everywhere, and the security officers are trying to prevent them from stealing anything because residents’ properties are scattered everywhere,” he lamented.

Another resident in the area, simply identified as Kayode, said the government asserted that the houses were too close to the canal and that they had yet to discuss with the residents.

Kayode added, “Nothing has been said so far. We are hoping that they will come and have a discussion with us. For now, all we know is that we have to move out. They do not care where we will move. They have started demolishing areas around a bridge in the area, and we never thought it would get to our area.”

 

He stated that the issue might potentially end in court, and he was hoping that the appropriate party would win.

“They said the houses are too close to the canal, but they should have known before now because before we all built all the houses, we got approval from the government. I am sure the issue will end up in court, and the court can decide who they think is right,“ he said.

Another resident, simply identified as Tega, claimed that the residents’ biggest nightmare came true when the government gave them two hours to leave their houses.

 

 

 

She said, “We did not get any prior notification. They gave us two hours to exit the estate. They told us yesterday (on Saturday). Most people have moved out since then, and we are just trying to get the pieces today. It is the worst nightmare for some of the families here.”

When contacted, the Commissioner for Information, Gbenga Omotoso, stated that before the demolition, several meetings were held with the residents.

Omotoso said, “The government cannot be so heartless as to tell people to leave their homes in two hours. The Commissioner for Environment was on Arise News Television this morning (Sunday), and he explained everything.

“He explained how many years they had been at it, even before he came to office. On his social media page, he released a series of videos of meetings he had with them.

He added that the state Commissioner of Environment and Water Resources paid a visit to the estate two weeks ago and engaged in negotiations with the residents, adding that the community at large needed to be prevented from flooding.

“He was there last week and two weeks ago. It is not true that they were given two hours. They have been negotiating with them, but the thing is, we do not look at the larger picture.

“If we say one house must stay and the whole community will have to suffer when there is flooding, then that is not right. No one can exit them without prior notice in a country that is governed by law. Should they be compensated for building on drainage channels? I have never heard of that, and the law does not say so.”
