Lagos- Ibadan expressway will not become another Abuja-Kaduna Expressway – Gani Adams

A coalition of security groups consisting of the Oo­dua People’s Congress (OPC), the Hunters Association of Nigeria, Vigilante Group of Nigeria, Agbekoya, and oth­ers have insisted that it will not allow the Lagos – Ibadan Expressway to become an­other Abuja-Kaduna Ex­pressway.

This was disclosed by the coordinator of the group, Aare Gani Adams, the Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yoruba land, during a meeting of the southwest security groups.

Aare Adams said: “The situation along the road is worrisome and that is why we are having a joint security meeting of all stakeholders.”

“The situation is now so bad that those traveling along that road no longer feels safe while playing on the road. The situation is worsened around the Kara Bridge also known as the long bridge. ”

The Aare Ona Kakanfo added that ” We are not un­aware of what the Oyo state government, led by Seyi Ma­kinde, is doing by bringing in Amotekun officers but our role is to complement the efforts of other security agencies.”

The Yoruba leader added that ” Those who are inter­ested in bringing to an end the state of insecurity are drawn from OPC, the Vigilan­te Group of Nigeria, the local hunters, the Oodua women group, and others.

They called on me to intervene in the situation. Right now we now have a monthly meeting of all stakeholders and we are fine-tuning ways how to tackle the situation.”

“The situation has be­come so bad. Every day we hear of one attack or the other. Travelers are attacked at will. Some of our women get raped during such attacks while the unlucky ones get kidnapped.
