LAGOS State government may demolish a building in Ijora area of Lagos State where bombs and AK-47 rifles were set to have been recovered following moves by the traditional ruler of the area.
The building is said to be owned by the Bayelsa State government, a situation which is currently picthing the two states against each other.
The traditional ruler of Ijora, Oba Fatai Ojora, while speaking with newsmen, during a visit by Arewa leaders in Lagos on Monday condemned the activities of the perpetrators of the act, describing them as “ungrateful”.
The traditional ruler stated that the building, where the suspects stayed belongs to the Bayelsa State government adding that he had begun efforts to make sure that the building was demolished.
He warned members of the Boko Haram to stay away from Ijora and other parts of Lagos or be ready for the grave consequence that would follow such act.
Oba Ojora stated that the community escaped a catastrophe by sheer providence.
“The incident could have caused a great damage, it was prayer that saved us,” the traditional ruler stated.
The Seriki Hausa and the chairman of Arewa Council of Chiefs in Lagos State, Alhaji Sanni Kabir, described the incident as “very unfortunate” and urged the Seriki Hausa in all the Hausa communities to remain vigilant.
The Hausa leader said the leaders of the tribe in the state held an emergency meeting and dissociated themselves from the suspects.
Alhaji Kabir also urged the Hausa leaders to report any strange activity or face to the traditional ruler, who, in turn, would notify the security agencies.
