OGUN CRACKS DOWN ON CRIMINALS, LIGHTS UP SAGAMU INTERCHANGE, CLEARS SHANTIES. (PHOTOS). #PRESS RELEASE.


 Ogun cracks down on criminals, lights up Sagamu Interchange, clears shanties


As part of efforts to make the Sagamu Interchange and its environs a no-go area for criminals, the Ogun State Government has provided illumination at the under-bridge area along the Lagos - Ibadan Expressway and subsequently at the four intersections of the Interchange.


The Ogun State Government, which took this step after clearing the illegal shanties, shops and stalls in the area in order to deprive criminals of a cover in the area, undertook adequate illumination of the area through solar street lights.


Recently, the State Government, in a statement issued by the Special Adviser on Media and Strategy to Governor Dapo Abiodun, Hon Kayode Akinmade, had said that it was fully apprised of the situation in the area and would never allow criminals to continue to launch attacks on innocent citizens.


Previously, as part of its response to the reported activities of criminals in the area, the government had deployed police and Amotekun operatives to the area to make it safe for residents and travellers.


Apart from  mandating personnel from the Bureau of Electrical Engineering Services to deployed solar street lights under the bridge, the Ogun State Government has extended the solar streetlights to the roundabouts, and along the inward and outward routes of the four intersections.


This intervention is part of the Light-up Project of the Dapo Abiodun Administration in Lighting up key infrastructural projects in the state. 


While  the Lagos Ibadan Expressway is a federal highway, the intervention is meant to stem the security concerns widely circulated on social media by residents of the State.


This Light up project is meant to further enhance the security apparatus of the area and assist law enforcement agents in adequately securing the area.
