Residents of Odo-Alamo area in Ogbomoso, have appealed to the Oyo state governor Engr Seyi Makinde to come to their aid lamenting the access road to the community has become greatly dilapidated and a death trap.

The appeal was made today following a lone accident in which a car fell into a ditch near the bridge over Alamo stream.

“The road has become dilapidated, it has become death trap,” a distraught resident, Mr. Mathew Ogunkanmi, told ogbomosoinsightonline.com. Continuing, he said, “We have made several solicitations to successive council chairmen. Former chairmen such as Alhaji Ibrahim Toskay, Alhaji Kabir Ayoade and even the present chairman Hon George Ogunlade all came but nothing has been done. And it is sadder that the road is not among those being rehabilitated in Ogbomoso presently. Only Governor Makinde can help us then.”

Another inhabitant, Mrs. Kafilat Adekunle, disclosed such accidents are common in the area because of the bad state of the road. She also sent a save our soul message, “something needs to be done to alleviate out suffering and urgently too. Government should please come to our aid.”
