I heard about the fake news that we have relocated which is not true, we are still here and we will not leave here for anywhere, those who are spreading the fake news just want to demote us here in Okelewo, they built shops and name it Egba computer village. The only computer village is in Okelewo and not in anywhere. I want to urge the general public, especially our customers to disregard the report, we remain in Okelewo, Abeokuta South Local Government. It is true that some people met with us that they needed some of our members in that area but our members said they will not go there because their lives and properties can not be secured there, our members want adequate security in which they are enjoying here in Okelewo.
