Ilorin descendants' union decries infiltration of hoodlums
The Ilorin Emirate Descendants' Progressive Union (IEDPU) has decried the infiltration of hoodlums into Ilorin, the Kwara State capital.
The group, which said hoodlums are springing up in Ilorin metropolis and Kwara State in general called on security agencies to be at alert to ensure that activities of miscreants were curtailed as the state holds its local government election.
Speaking on behalf of IEDPU and other organisers of an annual traditional end of Ramadan celebration held at the palace of the Emir of Ilorin, Alhaji Usman Moyosore said, "as we are approaching the local government election in the state, our security agencies should be at alert to avoid miscreants having free operation.
"This call becomes necessary as the rate at which the hoodlums are springing up in Ilorin metropolis and Kwara state is on the increase," he said.
The IEDPU also condemned the sale of sachet water for N10 as against N5 in neighbouring towns and states, calling on the Emir of Ilorin, Alhaji Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari to intervene on the matter.
Moyosore also expressed the union's concern over the blockage of major roads in town during ceremonies despite repeated complaints.
"We should not do anything that would hurt our neighbour," he said.
He commended the efforts of state government on road construction, while adding, however, that most of the roads in Ilorin metropolis were due for total rehabilitation just as the union appealed to the Federal Government to reconstruct the collapsed Ohan and Moro bridges in Asa and Moro local government areas of the state.
