“Its unfortunate that much is not being done to help our people here. This is a border community where government generates revenue.

 

“Activities of these cult groups are increasing by the day. Last year, I arrested one of the deceased persons Agossu Daniel with ammunition in his pocession and handed him over to the police, till today i cannot say of what happened of that case at thevpolice.

 

“Last year 2020, i wrote a petition to the Commissioner of Police Lagos State, drawing his attention to the rising cases of criminality in this border community.

 

“KIllings and all sorts of criminality happen in this area from time to time without any action by the government agencies to put to check further occurrence.
