Nigeria worldwide known female table tennis star and player Funke Oshonaike, was attacked today at Oshodi by hooligans. The table tennis star was on her way to the airport (Murtala Muhammed International Airport) with her two siblings, Taiwo and Kehinde Oshonaike when she faced the attack.
Funke and her two brothers were rescue buy the intervention of the Deputy Commissioner of Police in Lagos, Mr Anderson Bankole. It happened that the Police Commissioner Deputy was coincidentally passing through the area of the attack and stopped with his men to rescue the tennis star.
Funke Oshonaike took to her Facebook profile immediately after the attack to express her displeasure over the attack. In her words, "Your Funke Oshonaike was attacked at Oshodi today while going to the airport with my brothers Taiwo Osonaike and Kehinde Osonaike. My car broke down! Thank God that the deputy commissioner of police Mr Anderson Bankole came at the right time to rescue me from the hands of the Hooligans. I'm still in a state of shock."
Oshodi area of Lagos before now is known for different kind of notorious activities such as stealing, dubious exploitations and moreover the home of hoodlums and hooligans terrifying others lives. But the reign of the former state governor, Mr Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN), has brought some level of stability and peace to Oshodi.
I hereby use this medium to crave the indulgence of the current Lagos State Governor, Mr Akinwumi Ambode, to intensify effort in restoring peace to Oshodi, as different kind of atrocities is perpetrated daily at Oshodi in Lagos.
