A source, who pleaded anonymity, told PUNCH Metro that the building was formerly occupied by some policemen, who were ejected in January 2013 on the excuse that it was due for renovation.

The Mowe-Ibafo-Magboro-Warewa stretch of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway in Ogun State has for a long time been a nightmare to motorists and those living along the axis due to the operations of armed robbers and sundry criminals.

In January 2013, a family narrated how they were nearly hacked to death by armed robbers who waylaid their vehicle on the expressway.

The PUNCH also published a report in June 2012 about a retired Brigadier-General, Sylvester Iruh, who was stabbed to death by robbers suspected to be Fulani herdsmen at Warewa on the road.

Iruh had stopped to change a bad tyre and the bandits jumped him and the occupants of his vehicle. He lost his life due to the stab wounds he sustained in the hands of the bandits.
