Recent happenings and developments at the Eredo Town in the Epe Local Government Area of Lagos State has revealed the dire need of the prompt and efficient intervention of the Government and state stakeholders to restore peace and order as well as normalcy in the daily activities of individuals in the community as the OBA OF ODOMOLA had laid siege of the community using some notorious land grabbers.

There has been a tragic takeover of the Eredo community by some hoodlums sponsored and brought to the community by OBA SHINA ADEBOWALE; OBA OF ODOMOLA COMMUNITY and certain persons identified as GANIYU OWOEYE AKA GARBA, ABIODUN ADEBAYO, OBA SHINA ADEBOWALE, YEMI ODUMOSU, ABDULLAHI AKA JOGUNOMI, TAYE ENITIODUNMO, SIR KAY OLUWO, MD EMPIRE ESTATE (GOKE EMPIRE) , plundering the livelihood of members of the community with the use of arms and ammunitions rendering the community unsafe and inhabitable for the members of the community who are now at the will of these unscrupulous individuals and who are forced to negotiate for even their lives with their valuable possessions and properties, while those without “valuable possessions” as ransoms are left to face whatever punishment is meted out by these perpetrators of breach of peace.

It has also been discovered that this Oba and this identified criminal cartel led by GANIYU OWOEYE AKA GARBA OWOEYE, ABIODUN ADEBAYO, OBA SHINA ADEBOWALE, YEMI ODUMOSU, ABDULLAHI AKA JOGUNOMI, TAYE ENITIODUNMO, SIR KAY OLUWO, MD EMPIRE ESTATE (GOKE EMPIRE) certain families of the community have been particularly targeted as preys of the endeavors of these perpetrators of evil in the community. It is disheartening that the members of the EREDO Community are singled out and are on the receiving end of the attacks of these law breakers who not only disrupt and threaten the lives and properties of these families but do so with the use of sophisticated arms and ammunitions.

OLAONIPEKUN ADEWALE, MATTEW MURTALA, DARE ODUMOSU, AJOKE HABIBAT AROWOLO, BOLANLE AYENI, IMAM OLANREWAJU WAKEEL, DARE SHAMBAKIYU, IYABO HAKEEM are notable members of the Eredo Community fondly harassed and victimized by the activities of these hoodlums by virtue of been landowners in the Eredo community. It has now become a nightmare for members of the Eredo Community as they have become specific targets. There has been serious threat to their lives and properties as these hooligans led by ABIODUN ADEBAYO aka HONOURABLE VICE and others have without impunity with the use of weapons and arms, invaded, encroached and hijacked properties belonging to the ERDEDO COMMUNITY on the augthority of Oba of Odomola Community forcing the members of the EREDO Community to seek refuge outside the community as it has now become inhabitable.

The EREDO COMMUNITY led by OLONIPEKUN ADEWALE (Acting Baale of the Community) is calling on the government and all state stakeholders to promptly deploy its mechanisms to restore peace and order in the EREDO COMMUNITY, Epe Local Government Area of Lagos State; search out, apprehend and bring these offenders of the law to justice

The Government been a constitutional faction for the management of the affairs of the citizens as well as for the preservation of law and order cannot afford to be slumbering in the face of such alarming state of unrest and forceful takeover of peace and order in the community. The possession of illegal firearms and ammunition by these hooligans depicts the deplorable state of affairs especially in the sector of law enforcement in the community and the country at large.

It is imminent and expedient for Government and all State stakeholders to rise to the occasion and deploy its mechanisms to restore peace and order, search out, apprehend and bring to justice the perpetrators and saboteurs of peace and order against the members of the ERDEDO COMMUNITY at large.

It is hoped that the Government and all state stakeholders rise to the occasion, intervene and deliver in its role as the custodian of peace, law, and order in the management of the affairs of the citizens of the Country.
