The Executive Chairman of Ibeju-Lekki Local Government Area in Lagos State, Abdullahi Sesan Olowa, has called for calm among residents following growing concerns about the recent arrival of certain groups of people in their communities.
Chairman Assures Residents of Proactive Monitoring
In a statement addressing the heightened anxiety among locals, Chairman Olowa confirmed that his office is fully aware of the situation and is actively monitoring developments on the ground.

“We are monitoring the development,” the chairman stated, urging residents not to panic while authorities work to ensure the safety and security of all law-abiding citizens in the area.
Growing Concerns in Ibeju-Lekki Communities
Ibeju-Lekki, home to major infrastructure projects including the Lekki Free Trade Zone, Dangote Refinery, and the proposed Fourth Mainland Bridge, has experienced significant population growth in recent years.

Residents are encouraged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to appropriate authorities through official channels, while avoiding actions that could escalate tensions or lead to profiling of innocent people.
The situation is being closely watched as authorities work to address residents’ concerns while upholding the rights of all Nigerians to live and work freely anywhere in the country.
