Osun State governor Ademola Adeleke has blamed saboteurs for causing the collapse of a section of the newly commissioned ₦8.52bn Lameco Flyover in Osogbo.
The 672-metre flyover, which is part of a ₦100bn multi-flyover infrastructure master plan designed to transform transport networks across Osogbo, Ile-Ife, Owode-Ede, and Ikirun, was commissioned on July 1, 2026,
But after a heavy downpour of rain the section of the flyover bridge collapsed. But according to governor Adeleke it was vandalised.
“I inspected the vandalised section of the Lameco Flyover in Osogbo. I commend the hardworking engineers from the Ministry of Works who have swiftly mobilised to the site to ensure the immediate repair of the damaged section,” governor Adeleke wrote on X
“During my visit, I received direct briefing from the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Works, Engr. Bashiru Bello, on the circumstances surrounding the act of vandalism. It is unfortunate that some saboteurs, whose sole objective is to undermine our developmental strides and destroy the legacy of this administration, would resort to attacking public infrastructure built with taxpayers’ resources.
“I enjoin security agencies to strengthen the protection of public infrastructure across the state and ensure that those responsible for this criminal act are identified, arrested, and brought to justice. These projects belong to the people of Osun State, and every well-meaning citizen has a responsibility to protect them from acts of sabotage and vandalism. My administration remains resolute in its commitment to delivering quality infrastructure and will not be deterred by the actions of those who seek to impede our progress.”
