The project, awarded to Laralek with the aim of improving the road infrastructure and alleviating traffic congestion, has been plagued by allegations of poor workmanship and substandard materials. "We are shocked and disappointed at the quality of work being done on this project," said Mrs. Funmilayo Odunlami, a resident of Ota.

Yomi Adetula, the Director, Anti-Arms Smuggling of the Social Orientation and Safety (So-Safe) Corps in Ogun State, has been murdered by suspected assassins in Idi-Iroko, Ipokia Local Government Area of the state. According to multiple residents of Idi-Iroko, Adetula was in his church, located off Old Baggage Road, Idi-Iroko, when gunmen who were also bearing other dangerous weapons invaded his church minutes after 10am on Sunday, attacking him. “They first shot him but the bullets did not penetrate him,” one resident told FIJ. “They then proceeded to inflict fatal wounds on him with their other weapons, which include hammer and machete.
