Re: Hoodlums invade Cheshire homes

An investigation into allegations that the Cheshire Home for the Disabled and Less-Privileged persons in Ibadan, the Oyo state capital is being attacked by hoodlums regularly has revealed that this is not the true situation of things at the home.

It was reported on Monday that the home had been broken into four times in the last five months and disabled residents had been raped and their properties carted away.

Nigerian Tribune further investigations revealed that the allegations do not represent the situation of things at the home as authorities said adequate attention is given to the security and welfare of the residents.

The authorities further said that an official of the home, to whom the information was credited was not in the position to give any information of such and has no information on whether the home had any challenge or not.

A management staff who spoke with Nigerian Tribune reiterated that  the welfare of the residents and their security had never been compromised and the police was only asked to patrol the home frequently just to beef up security based on information that burglars were on the prowl in that vicinity, adding that the police patrol was a mere proactive step to avoid such occurrence happening in the home.
