The Local Government chairman of Amuwo Odofin has alleged that, a particular Community Policing Youth Vanguard set up by Area ‘E’ Commander, ACP Dan Okoro yesterday attacked members of the environmental task force and Neighbourhood Watchers who were performing their lawful duty at Alakija with different weapons which injured many of them.
The chairman also said this is not the first time a thing like this will happen and wants the government to ban the group immediately. Read the press statement from the Local Government below and see more pictures.
It seems there is no end in sight in the destructive and nefarious activities of the Community Policing Youth Vanguard that was set up by the Area ‘E’ Commander, ACP Dan Okoro. The group was seen attacking council officials, Neighbourhood Watchers of Amuwo Odofin Local Government Area at Alakija, as well as, attacking the Executive Chairman of Amuwo Odofin Local Government, Comrade Ayodele Adewale, who narrowly missed death.
According to Comrade Adewale, while narrating the incidence to journalists stated that “Some members of the environmental task force and Neighbourhood Watchers were performing their lawful duty at Alakija, when some members of the Community Policing Youth Vanguard that was set up by the Area ‘E’ Commander, ACP Dan Okoro, came to attack them with dangerous weapons. What baffled me was that they even have the effrontery to come to the Local Government Secretariat with guns, machetes and bottles to attack me, inside the Local Government, while I was holding a meeting with the representative of Millennium Development Goals, Mr. Rotimi who has come from the Presidency.”
He further stressed that “what surprised me the most is that the police attached to Festac Police Station and Area E Command were just watching the drama, refusing to give us protection, and arrest the hoodlums.”
The Local Government boss noted that the Local Government would not give in to hoodlums, and once again reiterated his stand that the Community Policing Youth Vanguard set up by Area E Commander, ACP Dan Okoro should be banned, before hell is let loose in the Local Government.
It will be recalled that the same group also damaged and vandalized Local Government projects sign posts during the March 2014, environmental sanitation.
