Now, Because of poor service of the street lights, Obafemi Awolowo Road (From Ota-Ona to Itamaga) has turned to Thieves’ Den.
Workers going to work in the early hours of the day are being robbed while the females are raped.
Shops are being burgled; Thieves now take their time to remove side mirrors, stereos, batteries and car light parked in front of owner’s houses with ease.
Rumour also had it that the diesel that is meant to power the Street light generator is being sold and diverted for private and selfish reasons.

The process is not well organized and well planned, it needs to be looked into.
