It was royal blessings upon royal blessings for the Odofin of Ikorodu Kingdom, High Chief Adewunmi Ogunsanya at the formal launch and unveiling of the Ikorodu Division Peace Initiative (IDPILG) LTD/GTE and Local Joint Task Force (LJTF).

The epoch-making event, which was held at Ikorodu Ultra-Modern Town Hall on Wednesday, had in attendance all royal fathers in Ikorodu, political office holders, representatives of government-owned security outfits, among other dignitaries.

Speaking at the event, the Ayangbure of Ikorodu, His Royal Majesty, Oba Kabir Shotobi, who was flanked by the Ranodu of Imota and Adegboruwa of Igbogbo, showered praises on Ogunsanya who chairs the IDPILG for his numerous contributions.

“When we thought of this initiative and created a committee, I suggested that Odofin Ogunsanya serve as the chairman and all the other monarchs agreed with me. I thank them for their cooperation. The efforts of the committee members drawn from all the communities in Ikorodu culminated in the edifice we are seeing today,” Oba Shotobi said.

The monarch appreciated the social clubs and all community stakeholders for backing the Ikorodu Division Peace Initiative, adding that all the six council chairmen in Ikorodu were invited for all the programs.

Oba Shotobi recalled that he and Odofin Ogunsanya met with Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu who applauded the initiative and pledged the support of the Lagos State Government.

He added, “We must understand that this security outfit isn’t for personal use or land grabbing activities, rather it was created for the benefits of the entire communities in Ikorodu Division. This initiative is first of its kind; the security operatives will be paid monthly salary and insurance has been provided for four members of each of their families.”

The major highlight of the event was the presentation of patrol vehicles and motor bikes to the LJTF operatives and security agencies in Ikorodu Division in order to assist them in carrying out effective surveillance of the entire communities.
