By Temitayo   /  

The Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi has commended the Pesident Buhari-led Federal Government for checking the menace of oil thieves and militants in Ikorodu and Arepo areas of Lagos state.
Adeyemi made the commendation on Thursday while fielding questions from State House correspondents after a closed door meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari in the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
“We have offered some suggestions. We are losing huge resources to the activities of the Niger Delta Avengers.
“Coming close to that is the infiltration of the militants in Lagos and Ikorodu where in the last three weeks, 10 landlords were massacred.

“The Federal Government has since sent forces there to wipe them out. Normalcy has since returned to Ikorodu and Arepo area.
“If they had successfully spread their activities to the South West, there would have been more destruction. Lagos is the economic heartbeat of the nation,’’ he said.
“The President listened attentively and he has asked me to pass the information to other traditional rulers in my domain to assist the government.’’
