The Lagos State Government has
sealed off a filling station, a hotel and an event centre belonging to a suspected
Badoo cult kingpin, Alaka Abayomi Kamal.
Commissioner for Information and
Strategy in the state, Mr Steve Ayorinde, confirmed this on Wednesday in a
statement signed by him.
This comes less than two weeks
after the Police declared Alaka wanted for his alleged connection with series
of well-orchestrated killings and nefarious activities of the Badoo cult group
in Ikorodu and Epe areas of the state.
The structures, situated along
Ijebu-Ode-Itoikin Road in Sabo area of Ikorodu were sealed for violating the
state’s Urban and Regional Planning Law of 2010.
The state government said the
order sealing off the structures was in pursuant to Section 60 of the said law.
Meanwhile, the Commissioner of
Police in the state, Mr Imohimi Edgal, had on Tuesday paraded a suspected Badoo
kingpin arrested in Ikorodu.
The suspect was said to have
confessed to the killings and took the police to their shrine in Imosan, a
suburb of Ijebu-Ode in Ogun State, where the group’s chief herbalist, Fatai
Adebayo, was arrested.
Adebayo is popularly known as
Alese and is said to have specialised in administering oath on Badoo members
before they go for any operation.
Reacting to the developments,
Ayorinde said: “The Lagos State government is joining the Nigerian Police in
asking the said Alaka to come out of hiding and submit himself to the law in
his own interest.”
“The state government has also
enjoined the police to offer the public a reward for any useful information on
the owner of the Alaka filling station, hotel and event centre in Ikorodu,” he
added.
The state government has
reassured residents of their safety, noting that no stone would be left
unturned in keeping the state safe.
