Some months ago there was a report on holes being dug along the pedestrian pathway on Ago Palace road, Okota in Oshodi-Isolo LGA. These deep 4 feet holes were dug for the purpose of laying cables.

These death traps were covered by the residents after several people complained about how people almost fall to their deaths.
Just last week, the holes have been reopened up and left uncovered, This time around is even deeper than the first time they were dug. The real danger now is that dug out sands are very slippery when you try to walk on it to avoid falling into the road.
The responsible government authorities in the local government do not care about the safety of those who they swore to protect. The whole environment is very messed up that it has pushed a lot of street traders into the Ago Palace road which is not a good thing.
The government needs to act fast or they will have lots of accidents which might lead to death and result to violence from angry residents.
