Residents Of Lekki Peninsula laments an increase In Crime Rate. by constancefriday(m): 2:31am On May 03, 2019 |
Lekki Peninsula, Lagos, Nigeria is the home to an estimated 1.5-3 million Nigerians and Lagosians (growing from an estimated 450-500 thousand in 2011) plus expatriates and is one of the top 10 richest local government areas of Nigeria. Lately the spate of crime and violence within Lekki Peninsula, Lagos has sky rocketed with trails of extreme violence here and there. Some residents claim this rise in crime is linked to the recent passing of the traditional ruler of Ajah, Lekki Eti-Osa Area, High Chief Fatai Olumegbon. Criminologist also blame the rise in crime to willful joblessness on the side of most young folks in Lekki. Most Young Folks/Youths are after quick money, many are absolutely jobless, betting/game houses are packed full to the brim with youths who have no job or entrepreneural pre-occupation. Some are ready made tools for thuggery and all kinds of vices by rich folks who get a high from bullying and oppression. Concentric areas within Lekki Peninsula such as Ilaje Community Ajah, General Paints bus stop, Abraham Adesanya, Gbara ,Jakande Estate area/Beachgate road (Opposite Shoprite), Itedo adjacent Lekki Phase 1, etc. These communities are adjacent very rich and luxurious well secured estates and mansions including the private residence of the Vice President of Nigeria and many well known governmental and non governmental dignitaries. Cult Clashes, gun battles, robberies, bag snatching, rape, kidnapping, etc are a regular occurence. Law abiding and peace loving residents of Lekki Peninsula are calling on the state and federal government to do something urgent about the situation. It is also well known that cultist are often brought from other areas e.g Ikorodu, Epe, and Ogun State to come and cause havoc within Lekki Peninsula. We appeal to the government to deploy security agents to help put things under control and allow Lekki residents sleep with both eyes closed.

Our army of youths is a ticking time bomb ready to go off anytime soon if measures are not hurriedly instituted to gainfully put their boisterousness to productive ventures. We are fighting crime the wrong way in Nigeria. Such teeming population of youths can not be garrisoned in hopelessness and penury without an envisaged backlash. 1 Like |
