I wish to draw the attention of the Federal Government to the rising issue of hoodlums and miscreants in Lagos called ‘One million and the Awawa boys. These boys raid areas in Lagos and rape women both married and single. They cut of people’s hands, steal cars, break into locked up shops and steal from them. Sometimes, they officially send letter to an area before attack. Why won’t the police force use those letters as a lead to take them down? But we are just left to our fate because these boys have not yet attacked a caliber that would be felt in the state. The Lagos state government has failed to tackle this menace. Please, FG should uproot these boys now before they transcend to another form of Boko Haram.
