Citizens of Odo-Alamo, a community in Ogbomoso, are urgently requesting the Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, to intervene and stop the series of deadly crashes on their roads. They expressed deep concern over the deteriorated state of their main access road, which they say has turned into a death trap.
In a recent incident, a vehicle plunged into a ditch near the Alamo Stream bridge, prompting residents to speak out. Community leader Mathew Ogunkanmi highlighted that various local chairmen had been approached in the past, but no repairs were carried out. He stated that Governor Makinde is their only hope now, as the road is not included in current rehabilitation projects.
Another resident, Mrs. Kafilat Adekunle, noted that crashes are frequent because of the terrible road conditions. She described an accident where a car flipped over while reversing, landing upside down. The community is pleading for immediate government action to alleviate their suffering.
