Women in Ikorodu town in Lagos state, yesterday staged a peaceful
protest to PHCN office in Igbogbo Ikorodu, were they called on the PHCN
officials to give them electricity as the total darkness they have
experienced for some months, have helped Badoo members carry out their
various attacks.
The protesting women drawn from Anibaba street in Ikorodu, said if their
town had constant supply of power, the rate of crime committed by these
notorious cult group members would be drastically reduced if not
eradicated.
According to the leader of the protesting women, Mrs. Idayat Muritala,
erratic power supply in the town has continuously aided the Badoo Cult
group. She narrated how two suspected Badoo gang escaped through a bush
overnight due to total blackout the community was left.
A traditional leader in the community, Oba Abdulsemiu Orimadegun Kasali,
the Adeboruwa of Igbogbo, heard of the protest and called on the women
to come to his palace for a meeting with himself and some PHCN
officials.
However, none of the PHCN workers reportedly honored the invitation. The
monarch appealed to the protesting women to remain calm, assuring them
that he will have a meeting with the PHCN officials. The monarch called
on the women to warn their husbands, children and family members
residing in the town to stop keeping late night. He frowned at the
increasing rate of jungle justice in the town.
