Veteran comic actor, Babatunde Omidina, aka Baba Suwe has reacted to the
gruesome killings in Ikorodu by the dreaded group, Badoo. In
a chat with Encomium, the actor who was born in Lagos and lives in
Ikorodu, said the restless activities of the ritualist have turned the
community into a dangerous place for people residing in the area as well
as for visitors.
According to him, “I was born and bred in Lagos but I have been living
in Ikorodu for over ten years. Since I have been here, nothing like this
has happened before. Personally, I am very afraid of these boys and my
prayer is that I should never encounter them in my life.
With all that I have heard about
their activities, I am scared of them. Their activities have hindered my
movement because it is no longer advisable to move around at night.
Baba Suwe also complained of the embarrassment people receive from the
vigilante groups who barrage visitors with a lot of questions,
especially at night.
In fact, you would be shocked at the number of vigilante groups you
would meet on the way. Ikorodu is now hot and a lot of people do not
want to come here. It is so bad that lots of landlords have vacated
their homes for fear of these boys. They ran for their lives.
“What these boys are doing is very terrible and they are embarrassing a
lot of people. If anyone wants to come to Ikorodu at night, they would
meet so many security men who would begin to question them.
This kind of embarrassment is getting too much but I am sure that God would save us,” Baba Suwe said.
