According to the CSO, Oteyi has eight zones with separate leadership, but under the Chairmanship of Mr. Maduka Charles Delibe and that the residents would no longer fold their hand and watch hoodlums take over the place.
Ozornwadi warned a former executive members of the association who was unanimously impeached by the people to desist from causing confusion and trouble in the estate.
“We have extended an olive branch to all aggrieved persons but if they decline, we intend to further our peaceful protest at the Amuwo Odofin LG and the government office at Alauasa and may continue with the ongoing court process if they don’t respect the peace accord.”
Ozornwadi called on the chairman of Amuwo Odofin LGA to review its stance over the dispute and not tl allow any person or groups to influence his conscience in the ongoing social unrest: “We are known for peace until some persons came up to threaten and intimidate us, but we must resist any act geared towards causing trouble in our area”.
