gangsters use as base during day time engaging in smoking Indian hemps
and other drugs then move out in the night terrorizing resident of the
area.

carried by National Daily, revealed that policemen at Oke-Odo have
diverted in their original role of trailing and arresting suspected
criminals in the area instead they are more interested in going from
smoking and drinking joints every Friday collecting
their own share of proceeds from sale of Indian hemps and alcoholic
drinks without taking the necessary action. as at time of filing this
reports none of the members of the criminal gang that unleash attack in
the area has been picked up by the police.
