Mile 12: Disappointment as Ambode shuns residents

http://newtelegraphonline.com/mile-12-disappointment-ambode-shuns-residents/

Residents of communities surrounding Mile 12 Market in Lagos have expressed disappointment over the refusal of Governor Akinwunmi Ambode to address them when he visited the area yesterday. 

At least 10 people were killed while scores of others were critically wounded during a clash which occurred in the area on Thursday.
Three houses, shops, about 38 vehicles, motorcycles among others were either burnt or vandalised in the clash. 
But when visited the area, he did brief the aggrieved residents after assessing the level of destruction. Ambode’s convoy simply drove round the troubled spots and through Aina Road before turning back, leaving the residents disappointed. But sources said that intelligence/security report was responsible for the “sudden change in protocol plan”.
