The Ogun State Police Command
has warned the general public
against patronising illegal or unapproved parks and garages within the
state.
The
warning came via a statement signed by the PRO of the Command, DSP Muyiwa Adejobi, a copy of which was made available to The Anchor Online. The command "deemed it necessary to sound this note of warning due
to some intelligence and concluded investigation on reports of some cases
of rape, armed robbery and missing persons reported to the police in the
state.
The
police command has been able to deduce from it's reports that there is a
strong link between the commission of some of these crimes and the
patronage of these unapproved parks, particularly those individuals who
are fond of getting "free ride" by the road side or looking for "cheap ride"along the road.
The
command had recently arrested and investigated some serial rapists,who
have made their gimmicks of picking people by
the road side, raping and robbing them of their belongings before they would
drop them off their cars,on high speed, in most cases. They have been charged
to court accordingly after the police had got credible and substantive
evidence against them.
The victims of these
above-stated criminal acts or related crimes,in most cases, fall within
the categories of those who are actually looking for "cheap ride, free ride" or patronizing illegal or unapproved parks,either within or
outside Ogun State".
The
statement also read that "the command therefore wishes to appeal to the general public to always
patronize government approved parks and garages in all the zones
of Ogun State such as Kuto parks in Abeokuta,, Isale Oko park in
Sagamu, Ibadan and Lagos parks in Ijebu and other parks in Yewa and Awori
zones of the state.
The command is working
assiduously with the state government to form a team to champion the
fight against these illegal or unapproved parks within Ogun state ,and
put an end to those "Emergency Parks"or "Deadly Parks" along our major
highways in Ogun state as this will definitely assist the police in its
fight against missing persons and other social vices".
