The Ogun State Police Command has arrested six suspected pipeline vandals in different areas of the state.

The suspects included four suspected militants said to be operating in the Ikorodu-Arepo areas.

The militants, who were arrested on Friday, are 40-year-old Pere Ugbozuwa, Audu Tony, 39; Ifeanyi Eze, 29; and Ojogo Ezekiel, 23.

Ugbozuwa was said to be the secretary of the militants.
According to the state Police Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, the suspects are under interrogation at the headquarters of the Special Anti- Robbery Squad in Magbon, Abeokuta.

He said the suspects had made useful statements that would assist the officer-in-charge of SARS to carry out a thorough investigation and make more arrests.

Adejobi explained that the group had been linked to killings of security men and vandalising of pipelines in the Arepo area.

He said, “The special operation coordinated by the state Commissioner of Police, Abdulmajid Ali, has led to the arrest of four leaders of the militant group that has been responsible for damaging of pipelines and other criminal acts in Arepo.

“The command deployed men from the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, Police Mobile Force, Safer Highway, and Anti-Crime teams from various sections of the command to attack the hoodlums in the creek with two Armoured Personnel Carriers.”

In a related development, operatives of the Quick Response Squad of the command arrested two suspected vandals, Olamilekan Akinyemi and Ramon Mudashiru, near the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries’ Prayer City, along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway on Saturday.

The Ford bus they brought to the scene with number plate, MUS 887 XF, loaded with 14 200-litre drums and several jerrycans of petrol were also reportedly impounded.

Adejobi said the CP vowed that the state would be hot for criminals, especially pipeline vandals, who were economic saboteurs reaping where they did not sow.

The police boss, at the Ibafo Police Division, reportedly told officers and men of the command deployed for a special operation in Arepo and other areas of the state, that vandals would no longer be allowed to stay in the state.

“He warned vandals who operate at Ogunmakin, Onimaalu, Ogere, Ibafo, Ijebu Ode, Simawa, and Ogijo, among others, to look for other legitimate business, as they would soon meet their Waterloo,” the police spokesman added.

EGC Homes Unveils Goodness and Mercy Estate, Brand Ambassador

 

EGC Homes, a notable player in the real estate and property development sector, has made waves in the Nigerian market with its recent announcement of the launch of Goodness and Mercy Estate in Ogun, alongside other strategic initiatives.

The company emphasized its commitment to collaborating with the government to alleviate the housing deficit in Nigeria while prioritizing the well-being of residents.

In an interview with THECONSCIENCE NG, Oladapo Jimoh, the Managing Director of EGC Homes and Properties, expressed the brand’s long-term vision to bridge the housing gap and simplify the journey to homeownership.

He stated, “Current data estimates Nigeria’s housing deficit to be around 28 million units by 2024. This figure is among the largest globally and poses significant challenges, contributing to homelessness and various social issues.”

“National statistics indicate that our country faces a pressing need for approximately 700,000 new homes each year to address this deficit. As urbanization continues, these challenges are particularly evident in major cities, where affordable housing becomes increasingly scarce, forcing many into slums and informal settlements.”

The World Bank projects that Nigeria’s urban population could exceed 200 million by 2050, highlighting a potential social crisis as the lack of affordable housing leads to the rise of slums, especially in urban areas.

“As a forward-thinking and solutions-oriented company, we are dedicated to addressing these critical housing issues in partnership with the government.”

Following its successful launch in Lagos, EGC Homes has rapidly expanded its operations, acquiring a significant land bank across the southwestern region of Nigeria and enhancing its marketing strategies to effectively connect with customers.

The firm is committed to providing Nigerians with exceptional value, peace of mind, and simplifying the processes of land acquisition and homeownership.

“Our mission is to make life easier for Nigerians while assisting the government in tackling the housing deficit.”

Recently, the company introduced its premier property, the Goodness and Mercy Estate, located in Arepo and Sagamu Interchange in Ogun State, with more projects on the horizon. Its flexible payment plans and affordable property prices aim to cater to a wide audience.

Additionally, EGC Homes has appointed Titilayo Adebayo-Omotosho as its social media brand ambassador to promote the unique offerings of EGC Homes and Properties Limited to Nigerians both at home and abroad.

In her remarks, she highlighted her commitment to the vision of EGC Homes, stating, “I believe every Nigerian deserves a decent roof over their head. This aligns perfectly with the mission of EGC Homes and Properties, which is why I chose to represent the brand, promoting its exceptional estates and home packages to Nigerians and those aspiring to own homes here.”
