Some communities in the Obafemi Owode Local Government Area of Ogun State have lamented the collapse of a bridge reportedly constructed during the colonial era which connects them to the rest of the state.
According to the residents, the Oke Ipa Bridge, which collapsed on July 7, 2022, due to torrential rainfall, has hampered commercial activities, as farmers, traders and other business owners have not been able to function well.
During a peaceful protest on Saturday, the residents called on the state Governor, Dapo Abiodun, to come to their aid, saying the makeshift bridge would not withstand the coming rainy season. Some of the affected communities included Oloke Sote, Magbon, Pakuro, Imedu Nla, Imedu Oloro, Magboro, Kara Nla, Kara Enumi, Jere Onigbedu, Makogi, among others.
