Screenshots: LASTMA Legal Adviser In N50m mess as Maplewood estate residents beg EFCC

Residents of Maplewood Estate in Agege, Lagos state have expressed their frustration over allegations of corruption and mismanagement of funds to the tune of 50 million naira contributed to buy 33KV power transformer.

The Maplewood Estate Residents Association has called on anti-graft authorities to look into the matter and bring those responsible to justice.

For over two months and two weeks now, the community has been plunged into darkness due to an alleged 50 million power transformer that was contributed by the residents. The Estate chairman, Akerele Oseni K., who is also the legal adviser to the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA), has been unable to give an account of how the money was spent.

Adding to the frustration of the residents is the fact that the other management executives of the estate have been unwilling to address issues regarding power supply, bad roads, and other infrastructure challenges within the estate.

It is disheartening to note that the executive management of the Maplewood Estate Association are prominent personalities in Lagos state, holding strategic positions, but have failed to demonstrate their leadership in their immediate community.

The residents of Maplewood Estate are calling on the Economic Financial Crime Commission and other relevant authorities to step in and help salvage the situation. Enough is enough; it is high time those responsible for these alleged fraudulent activities and mismanagement of funds are held accountable for their actions.
