ENOUGH OF CULTISM, BADOO YOUTH GANG COMPRESSION IKORODU RESIDENTS

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH -

 Aderoju Ladega calls on Lagos State government, Security Agencies, Traditional Rulers to take a quick drastic steps over Ikorodu Badoo gangs terrorizing the community

The dreaded Badoo cult group terrorising the people of Ikorodu in Lagos state has struck again. The group according to reports have murdered a family of five including a pregnant woman at Itamaga behind radio in the Ikorodu area of Lagos state

Reports also have it that the attack came on the early morning of May 28th. The cult members also allegedly killed the pregnant woman, opened up her womb and went away with her foetus. One of the family members, an SS3 student, a survivor of the attack is said to be battling for her life at a specialist hospital (names withheld). 

This is not the Ikorodu i used to know. I was born in Noah Hospital, Oroyinyin, Lagos, and was christened at Ladega's Family House on Alara Street, Isele Area of Ikorodu, Later we moved to my father's house in Agura Town, Ikorodu.

When I was 1yrs3months I started Uncle Niyi and Uncle Napo Morning Lesson (Jeleosmi), Ojogbe, Ikorodu. Further got enrolled into St. Margaret Nur./Pry. School, Ipakodo-Ebute, Ikorodu.

In 1995, I attended Ipakodo Primary School, where I sat for Pry 6 Common Entrance Examination. Ever since, I am conversant with Alara Street, Otambala Street, and so many Streets within Ikorodu.

The essence of my story is to remind myself and others of how peaceful and accommodating Ikorodu was, I walk around Ikorodu without being scared of what was happening behind, People sleep confidently outside their house with their two eyes close, People sleep in their houses with their properties outside, unlike now that Cultism, Badoo, Hooliganism and Violence is almost everywhere.

Why build a house, when I can't live in it! It's high time State Government, Security Agencies, Political Representatives, Traditional Rulers, Human Rights, Youth Advocates, Individuals, come together to discuss and strategize on how to conquer insecurity in Ikorodu Division. This is possible!

History had it that, Ikorodu was very peaceful and relaxing during the time of our forebears, and till early 21centuries, So what went wrong at the recent years? This is the question for everyone to look into. Ah! Ki lo de!
