According to Agege Local Government Chairman, Hon. Ganiyu Egunjobi, the affected areas serve as escape routes for criminal elements who dispossess motorists and passersby of their belongings especially at night and at dawn.
He added that the presence of the dwellers have made it difficult for law enforcement agents to address the security challenges of the affected areas, adding that Government can’t keep repeating the same thing and expect a different result.
