Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yoruba land, Iba Gani Adams, has called on the Federal and the Lagos governments to fulfil their promise to victims of the Soba explosion in Lagos, who they promised to pay compensation amounting to N2billion. It is an event that will remain in the history of this country and the entire Soba community. Because what happened here in Soba community last year is not different from what happened in Iraq as a bomb blast. The Yoruba leader, however, called on the Lagos State government to upgrade the Baale of Soba to the level of a traditional ruler, due to the growing population in the area. “We also appeal to the Lagos State government to upgrade our Baale to the level of an Oba because the people who are resident in this community are up to 4000,” Adams said.
