Residents of Bako Estate, Owode Ajegunle have cried out on the deplorable state of their roads and the consistent robbery attack they experience. Majority of the roads linking the community such as Ondo Street, Igbajo, Bola Kazeem, Adekeye, Thomas Laniyan and more are nothing to write home about.

Also the incessant robbery attacks from hoodlums who break into homes to loot has not helped the situation as residents confirmed that a robbery incident occurred last Saturday at the Idiagbon end of Bako Estate where a house was robbed in the early hours of 3am and 5am. The residents were robbed of laptops, mobile gadgets, money, and other valuables.

While addressing the state of security in the community, the Chairman of Unity CDA Bako Estate, Mr. Babatope Abu told InsideMainland that “we are doing our best to ensure the safety of lives and properties in the estate. Before now, we have security men working around the estate but we have added another 3 officers to ensure proper security for residents. The Police officers attached to the Thomas station are also doing a good job to ensure the perpetrators are brought to book.”

Commenting on the deplorable state of the roads, he said “It appears to me that it is pure neglect on the part of the government. The community CDA had contacted the government through the Ministry of works on different occasions but we are yet to get a result. The community has spent a lot to get stones and other materials to fill parts of the road to ensure it’s motorable.”

For Taiwo Bako, another community leader who is also a landlord in the area, “I haven’t used my car for 3 months because the roads are a nightmare once it rains. The last time government officials came to the community, they promised to fix the roads but till now, nothing has been done.”

While corroborating the chairman on security in the estate, Taiwo said “security starts from the individual and those in the surroundings. I would advise we remain vigilant always because the Police and estate security can only do their best from the little information we give them.”

Ok

A little effort from people in this estate will also help them.

Looking towards the government (Our government don't care) when they can buy broken block. We do same in my area so what are they waiting for?
