ALERT: EKO IN OSUN STATE NOW A PLACE FOR HOODLUMS-RESIDENTS CRIES OUT

In any LAGOS garage most importantly in Yoruba speaking communities, there is only one way through which the bus conductors call the attention of their intending passengers to their buses.

Once you hear Eko Eko Eko !!!, you need nobody to tell you that the bus is heading for the Centre of Excellence.

But, Eko Eko Eko things is not only for those going to Lagos most especially when you are in Ikirun, the headquarters of Ifelodun Local Government area of Osun State.

This is because there is another Eko very close to Ikirun. The town is Ekoinde. The town is known for farming, thereby contributing immensely to the economic growth of Ifelodun Local Government most importantly during the market days.

Today, for people going to the town, Eko junction in Ikirun has become a nightmare. This is because hoodlums have taken over the junction. 

Eko junction is now a place where thugs use as their money-making industry.

They task people passing by without anybody to challenge them. Infact, anyone who try to challenge them will not be the one to give the report of whatever he or she face owing to the level of severe injuries sustained through beatings from these men of underworld.


An appeal has, however gone to the State Commissioner of Police, CP Dorothy Gimba to please look into the matter.
