Reports coming in has it that hoodlums are having a free day in the suburbs of Ota. Young men are being seen invading houses with weapons like cutlass and locally made guns and dispossessing residents of their valuables.
As at 2pm yesterday Thursday, our correspondent received a call that Owode/Ijako axis is under a siege. By evening of the same day, same incidence was reported happening around Adalemo axis of Sango Ota. By night, the people of Iloye/Gasline/Olaotan could not sleep as this invasion becomes intense in their locality.
According to eye witness, the hoodlums are between 10 to 15 in number, making it difficult for a single or two security men to combat them. As at the time of filling in this report, men of the Nigerian Police are seen patrolling the affected areas.
It is believed that the actions of these young men is as a result of their inability to go to work because of the lockdown in the State. Many youths have shown displeasure towards Government's choice of beneficiaries for the Stimulus Package.
Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun had said the Stimulus Package is meant for the poor and the vulnerable. However this didn't go down well with young and agile residents who make up the highest percentages of the population and are directly hit by the COVID-19 Lockdown. "Is it only the widows and aged that are hungry" "The youths need food too" said by some of the angry youths.
It's expected like this because the government also need to make provision for this guy's,mind u they said they are ready to work but lockdown has hold them,it means they're the type from hand to mouth daily,so government should please do something before it's get out of control.
