IGBOGBO/IPAKODO ROAD RECEIVED PALLIATIVE MEASURE

It was a total relieve today for the residents of Igbogbo Community when Consteng Nig Ltd moved their Caterpillars to the uncompleted Igbogbo/Ipakodo road, abandoned by the Lagos State government.

The construction of the road which was initially awarded to Arab Contractors by the former Governor of Lagos State, Mr Babatunde Fashola, was supposed to have ended the first face after Adeboruwa Palace but was abruptly stopped in front of WAEC office, which had made lives difficult for the residents of Igbogbo/Bayeku LCDA on a daily basis.

When Igbogbo Info Magazine visited the scene today, it was gathered that the dilapidated condition of the road prompted the Director of Consteng Nig Ltd, Engr H. O. B. Lawal, to commence full palliative of the road. This was done to pay back the government of Igbogbo/Bayeku LCDA for their existing partnership.

The residents of Igbogbo Community however thank the Sole Administrator, Igbogbo/Bayeku LCDA, Chief Mrs Bolanle Basorun and the Director of Consteng Nig Ltd, Engr H. O. B. Lawal, for their cooperation and understanding in bringing smiles to the face of the people.

A woman living at Babalola Aroyewun Street, Igbogbo was apprehended today for allegedly kidnapping a 13 year old boy. The boy who had been missing for 3 days was later found with his mouth and hands tied in the apartment of his mother's friend.

The boy was said to have been coming to that compound to assist her mother's friend to fetch water and do some house chores. For three days,  the boy had been declared missing while the suspected woman and the boy's mother had been going here and there looking for the boy. They had even reported the missing boy at Igbogbo Police Station on Thursday.

It was this morning when the two neighbours living downstairs of the building, overheard strange voices at the flat upstairs. They thereafter decided to run a check on the apartment, but only had access to a flat that had nobody living in it and nothing was found there. However, they decided to call the woman living in other flat, who had left for Oshodi where she sells Clothes, to ascertain whether she had any visitor, because the strange voice was coming from her apartment, but she denied.

The neighbours raised alarm and were waiting for the strangers to come out before the 3 people that were called by the suspected woman came into the compound to check her apartment, they eventually found the boy that had got missing for three days with his hands and mouth tied.

Igbogbo Info Magazine Team was at the scene and interrogated the father of the boy, Mr Sulaimon Adeleke, who expressed shocked over the incident. He said that he established the relationship between the suspect and his wife for unity and friendship sake, but he hardly believe that such a woman could kidnapped his Son for 3 days and even joined them in searching for him.

The head of ONYABO in Igbogbo, Mr Shina Olusanya with his team were at the scene to search everywhere before the arrival of the Police. 

The matter is now under investigation at Igbogbo Police Station, while the boy is receiving treatment at Shola Hospital.
