Residents of Somorin, Okeowo, Ifako in Gbagada, Lagos State have urged the government to arrest and prosecute some “boys” they accused of smoking substance suspected to be Indian hemp in the the area.
They said the “boys” have robbed them of valuables, besides constituting a threat to the peace in the area.
In a Save Our Soul (SOS) to the government, the residents said the hoodlums usually assemble in front of a popular school from mid-day till night, smoking “weed”.
The petition said a gospel church, which occupies one of the school’s buildings, has been subjected to the menace of the weed smokers.
According to the residents, the road in the area has also become almost impassable and urged the government to save the area from lawlessness and collapse.
They regretted that the hoodlums appeared to have become role models to the pupils, and urged that government to nip the menace in the bud before the miscreants turn the future leaders into hoodlums.
