Obafemi Awolowo’s Iconic Glasses Stolen From Statue In Lagos State

1

As hoodlums continue their looting spree, another iconic monument representing Nigeria’s rich history has been deliberately defaced.

 

Recall that earlier late Nnamdi Azikiwe’s statue in Anambra was burnt by irate youths. However this time, the late premier of the former western region, Chief Obafemi Awolowo’s statue in Ikeja was attacked by thugs who made away with the trademarked rounded glasses on the figure.

 

The pair of glasses was removed from the 20-feet statue situated along Obafemi Awolowo Way close to the Lagos Television (LTV) junction in Ikeja.
