The Lagos State
Government has lamented the resurgence of hoodlums and the attendant insecurity
in the Oshodi area of the state.
The government stated
that a review of its strategy had been done to bring back sanity to the area.
The new Chairman of the
Lagos State Taskforce on Environmental and Special Offences Unit, Olubukola
Abe, said this on Wednesday during a sensitisation tour of the area.
He pointed out that
activities of hoodlums, street hawkers and roadside traders constituted a
nuisance to the environment, adding that a new series of raid would soon start
in the area.
Abe, a Superintendent
of Police, said the government ordered a sensitisation tour of Oshodi to
enlighten the residents that nobody was above the law and that no resident
could act in the state with impunity.
He said the task force
was ready to enforce the law of the state to the letter.
He said, “It is obvious
that Oshodi is going back to what it used to be. However, the government will
never allow that to happen. This tour is to tell the residents that whatever
has brought Oshodi to this state will be adequately corrected.
