Crisis is brewing among residents, business owners and management of Bosun Adekoya Estate in Victoria Island over locking of the estate’s main gate for five months.
The Guardian learnt that the action was against government directive on locking of street gates and interests of business owners and residents.
But, to ensure free movements, the state, in 2016 and 2020, ordered the immediate re-opening of all street gates and barricades between 5:00 a.m. and 12 midnight. It also warned that gates in default of the arrangement would be pulled down. He said: “Before the gate of Bosun Adekoya was permanently locked on April 23, 2022, residents and visitors to Bosun Adekoya Estate go through Water Corporation Road, stopped around the Oniru Mosque and drive or walk into the street, but since the gate was locked, they have to walk about 30 minutes to access the estate.”
“The Estate chairman is making all the decisions, he blocked three gates, the one that leads to Ebeano, Hakeem Dickson, in fact, the person Hakeem Dickson street is named after is an ex-Lagos State official, and he’s angry with the situation.” “So, after many threats, we decided to shut the gate and the day we shut it, there were over 300 pedestrians waiting to enter the estate, whereas we have far less that number of persons residing in the estate.
