Nigerian billionaire, Aliko Dangote is set to provide the country’s commercial hub, Lagos State with 24-hour power supply.

Dangote disclosed this during a meeting with Governor Akinwunmi Ambode on Wednesday, June 10, 2015.

The billionaire said further that plans have already been concluded to construct a gas pipeline to address the power supply challenges in the state.

“We also assured him that we are going to do a Gas Pipeline from Bonny (River State) to pass under the sea (to Lagos.) When it is completed, Lagos state will never ever experience blackout. There will be electricity 24 hours a day,” Dangote said.

“There are quite a lot of things that will come along with creating so many jobs. I think Lagos will be one of the fastest growing cities in Nigeria and Africa as a whole. I can assure you that we would do our own bit in terms of your efforts in policing Lagos, for security and whatever the need is, feel free to call us, we would partner with you and whatever you want us to do to make Lagos a better place,”he added.

The suspects were paraded along with a custodian of an Ibadan masquerade, known as Ogunmola Adenimodo, for allegedly destroying some vehicles at Ayeye area of Ibadan metropolis.

They were rounded up at Moniya in Akinyele Local Government Area of the state.

Ibadan masquerade festival had always left on its trail tears, losses, violence, bloodshed and even death in some cases.

However, the Commissioner of Police in the state, Mr. Muhammed Katsina, insisted that the reign of terror and impunity would not continue.

While parading the suspects at the state Police headquarters, Eleyele, Ibadan yesterday, the commissioner explained that the ambush squad of the command arrested the two members of a dangerous syndicate who specialized in duping unsuspecting members of the public.

According to him, the suspects, who were allegedly caught with human parts, always pretended to offer their victims spiritual assistance.

He said small pieces of human skull, hair, fake 900 dollars and some charms were found on the suspects.

While stating that the masquerade custodian had violated an earlier undertaking they made with the police, he said the police would not allow any individual or group to constitute a threat to public peace and order, especially during the on-going masquerade festival.

He vowed that other fleeing suspects would be arrested wherever they might be hiding.

However, Sikiru denied the allegation that his supporters destroyed the vehicles, saying his masquerade was yet to go to town.

He added that since the police had not granted him permit to go out with his Masquerade, he marked the festival indoor.
