Come to our aid on security, community begs DPO  

By Abolaji Adebayo

The residents of Taiwo/Fayemi community in Ejigbo Local Council Development Area (LCDA) have appealed to the council chairman, Hon. Monsuru Bello (Obe) and the Divisional Police Officer of Ejigbo Police Division, CSP Olabisi Okuwobi to improve the the security surveillance of the community, claiming that hoodlums have taken over the streets.

According to the residents, the hoodlums now operate in the day light, robbing people of their properties.

Speaking to ECHONEWS on the issue, the Community Development Association chairman, Mr. Olajide

Makinde, complained about the high rate at which the hoodlums terrorise the community.

According to him, apart from robbery, some boys have also invaded the community, smoking Indian hemps without restriction.

He said their behaviour has become a major menace to the community as they pose danger to their children and the entire residents.

“The boys are the major problems now, smoking and stealing within the neighbourhood. These boys smoked India hemp freely during the day not to talk of night. They are becoming a great menace to the residents and if they are not checked earlier, they may wreck irreparable havoc on the community.

“Street trading is becoming another major headache in our community. The issue also has to be curtailed by the local government.”

“The police can help by ensuring they patrol the community often to show presence and use force to arrest those hoodlums. If they do this, the hoodlums will reduce as those who may want to join them would be forced to desist.
